Richly saturated phantom(!) of Ajoite within a single Quartz crystal. Ajoite is usually randomly dispersed within the Quartz, so a perfect phantom such as this is uncommon. Half the crystal has polished faces highlighting the internal beauty, the other half was left with natural faces. From the Carl Acosta collection.
