Product Description
The minerals grow in the shape of spray, prism, or needle-like crystalline structures.
These include richterite, actinolite, hornblende, and tremolite, along with minerals such as hematite, kaolinite, limonite, and lithium. Depending on the concentration of amphibole quartz minerals, the gemstone appears in stunning shades of red, white, orange, brown, yellow, and green. The presence of these minerals gives rise to wispy phantom-like marks, for which this gemstone is also known as amphibole angel phantom quartz.
These wispy structures often appear like plumes of smoke or strokes of a paintbrush, making the amphibole quartz crystal look ethereal. According to mineralogists, at some point of time in history, the crystal formation was disrupted and washed over by new minerals, which led to the formation of the wisps.
