Halloysite included bone quartz is a rare and unique type of quartz crystal that contains microscopic tubes of halloysite, a clay mineral, within its structure. Halloysite is usually white, yellow, or pink in color, and gives the quartz a subtle hue that resembles the color of bone. Halloysite also creates interesting patterns and phantoms inside the quartz, making it a highly sought-after specimen for collectors and healers.
