This phantom Tamil Nadu quartz formed over half a billion years ago, long before plants, animals, or anything familiar existed. Its hematite phantom recorded shifting conditions in superheated, iron‑rich hydrothermal fluids: a dense, dark hematite layer from a high‑oxygen pulse, followed by a lighter “dust” phantom from a weaker one. These phantoms aren’t surface features — they’re ancient chemical signatures sealed during growth, a rare, clear record of a changing Precambrian world preserved inside quartz for over 600 million years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis crystal has a very well defined phantom, there are a few dings along the edges, as expected from a specimen this old. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSize: 38 x 15 x 9 mm. 10 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFrom Karur District, Tamil Nadu, India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OLD EARTH MINERALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40909449658497,"sku":"15965","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/9433\/1777\/files\/7A0845D6-A670-4F02-AF6B-E30F1D6F43A6.jpg?v=1788710718","url":"https:\/\/oldearthminerals.com\/products\/red-hematite-phantom-sunset-quartz-crystal-43k5","provider":"OLD EARTH MINERALS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
