A single Phantom Brookite crystal stands proudly on a flawless and very beautiful shape Faden Quartz matrix having remarkable display and very sharp terminations. It is completely fine all around without any damage at all. The Phantom of the crystal is exceptional, allowing for a stunning play of light and reflections. The combination of the Brookite crystal and the Faden Quartz matrix makes a harmonious and visually striking composition. Certainly a very impressive piece of great quality and nice composition.
