A unique quartz twinned crystal, which we obtained directly from the miner, where we can see the Japan Law twin reflected in an internal phantom as well as the external shape! This style, which we have never seen in any twin from ANY location, came out of on pocket in the short summer mining season of 2022. Phantoms within Japan law twins are very uncommon, but something this sharp such that it looks machined, is unprecedented. A full miniature, and although colorless it stands out to the eye on any shelf.
