A phantom quartz crystal is one in which a smaller 'ghostlike' crystal can be seen encompassed in the larger crystal.

Phantom quartz is a macrocrystalline variety of the mineral Quartz (SiO₂). Quartz is the most abundant single mineral on earth. It makes up about 12% of the earth's crust, occurring in a wide variety of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

Quartz varieties are commonly separated into two groups based on the size of the individual grains or crystals; macrocrystalline quartz in which individual crystals are distinguishable with the naked eye, and cryptocrystalline quartz in which the individual crystals are too small to be easily distinguishable under the light microscope.

METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Phantom quartz crystals are said to help one understand the various stages in life that we all evolve thru, and they are said to be an excellent tool for meditation and for remembrance of past lives.
