🔹Description

This piece comes from my personal collection.

“Frosted Phantom Seed” is a natural Himalayan quartz crystal from Hashupi, Pakistan, featuring a compact yet structurally rich formation with strong alpine character.

The crystal shows a partially preserved termination with natural etched textures, giving it a soft frosted appearance rather than a glassy finish. Near the upper growth zone, a faint green phantom can be observed, adding subtle depth and geological interest.

Internally, the specimen contains mica-rich inclusions, including platy and radiating structures, creating a dynamic internal landscape. The base exhibits a classic Nirvana-style etched formation with granular recrystallization, indicating strong natural dissolution processes during formation.

This is not a clarity-based specimen, but a collector-grade piece focused on inclusions, texture, and growth history.
