A very rare TRIPLE-PHANTOM quartz crystal from Arkansas, with both internal phantoms clearly visible! What happened here is that a crystal formed and terminated, then was engulfed by another crystal that also completed and terminated - then it happened twice more - so now you have a crystal-in-crystal-in-crystal-in-crystal! FABULOUS and so interesting!
