Chlorite Quartz
Chlorite Quartz
Earth held inside crystal, growth made visible.
Chlorite quartz is clear or milky quartz holding delicate green chlorite inclusions. The chlorite appears as veils, phantoms, or wispy patterns inside the crystal, giving the stone its garden-like character. Brazilian material is the most common commercial source, though high-quality pieces also come from Madagascar and occasional Alpine deposits. The inclusions are the point. Any treatment would cloud the stone or destroy the phantom structures that make it distinctive.
