Some phantoms are hard to make out. Then there are crystals like this - WOW! The quartz crystal inside was richly included with red chlorite before being engulfed by later growth and becoming this incredibly striking phantom crystal. There is some small angled-back damage to the termination on top, but it is the phantom that matters here anyway and the piece is showy as heck, if not pristine as you wish. This is an old and well known find from the early 1990s, and specimens are uncommon today.
