Visual character
Transparent to translucent quartz with internal green phantom-like layers or inclusions that can resemble a smaller landscape inside the crystal. The visibility and placement of those features vary strongly from bead to bead.
From raw to bead
Rough phantom quartz can obscure internal layers behind uneven surfaces. Polishing rounds the bead and improves light transmission, helping internal green features appear more distinct without making every specimen look alike.
Origin & geology
Green phantom quartz is a commercial description for quartz showing internal green growth features or inclusions. The term does not establish a single mineral species for the green material, so this record identifies the material at the quartz-with-inclusions level.

Care & wear
Quartz materials are reasonably scratch-resistant but can still chip from a hard impact or crack with rapid temperature change. Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; for a finished Veil Loom bracelet, follow the care needs of the complete composition.
Curator note
Green phantom quartz feels geological in the best way. It brings a sense of interior landscape to bracelets that benefit from subtle complexity.
