Physical properties

Hardness: 7 (Mohs scale); Color: Clear base with green, red, brown, or white inclusions; Luster: Vitreous; Crystal Structure: Trigonal/Hexagonal; Cleavage: None; Specific Gravity: 2.65.

Formation & geological history

Formed in hydrothermal veins or pegmatites where quartz crystals grow slowly, allowing liquid, gas, or other minerals to be trapped inside as 'inclusions' over millions of years.

Uses & applications

Primarily used in jewelry (beads, cabochons, pendants), metaphysical healing practices, and as unique collector specimens.

Geological facts

Also known as 'Lodolite' or 'Shamanic Dream Quartz,' it is prized because no two pieces are exactly alike, often resembling miniature underwater landscapes or forests.

Field identification & locations

Identify by looking for clear quartz containing 'phantom' shapes or moss-like organic textures; found commonly in Brazil. In the field, look for quartz points with visible içternal moss-like patterns.
