This Texas calcite crystal is actually a DOUBLE phantom - it is just that one of the two phantoms is very subtle, as it is colorless like the outer crystal. The other phantom is super-sharp and clearly visible due to inclusions. What is really cool is that this crystal is doubly-terminated! It evidently broke off in the pocket, and formed very nice, sharp faces on the bottom.
