An odd quartz specimen all-around! First, it is doubly-terminated, but not only that - the main crystal at one end has wrapped itself around (and terminated around) a quartz crystal of a weird tabular form. Secondly, the larger crystal has a sharp orange-red phantom inside, from an engulfed earlier-generation crystal that was coated with some mineral that demarcates its outline (probably hematite) .
