What is Amphibole Quartz?
Amphibole Quartz, also known as Angel Phantom Quartz, is the name given to Quartz crystals with natural inclusions of red, orange, brown, or ivory minerals that resemble the sweep of angel wings or feathers. But what is inside Amphibole Quartz? These mineral inclusions can be, but are not limited to, members of the Amphibole supergroup, as well as Chlorite, Limonite, Hematite, Actinolite, Kaolinite, and Hornblende, and they vary depending on the specimen. Some pieces of Amphibole Quartz with burgundy tones are thought to actually be Lithium Quartz, and there is indeed some overlap with these two gems, since they are both forms of Phantom Quartz or Included Quartz, depending on growth structure.
