Chlorite Included Quartz is a natural Quartz crystal containing inclusions of Chlorite, a green phyllosilicate mineral group commonly associated with low-grade metamorphic environments. These inclusions may appear as wispy clouds, mossy veils, granular coatings, or distinct internal landscapes suspended within the Quartz.
In some specimens, Chlorite inclusions form phantoms—internal outlines of earlier growth stages of the Quartz crystal. This occurs when a layer of Chlorite settles on the crystal surface during growth, after which Quartz continues to crystallize over it. The result is a visible “snapshot” of the crystal at that moment in time. Multiple growth interruptions can produce multi-layered phantom formations.
Chlorite Included Quartz is found in a variety of Quartz-bearing regions, including Brazil, Pakistan, India, the Himalayas, Colombia, and parts of the United States. Each locality produces distinct inclusion styles ranging from light green dusting to deep forest-green phantoms.
This material is sometimes confused with moss agate or artificially enhanced Quartz. Genuine Chlorite Included Quartz shows inclusions fully enclosed within natural Quartz growth, not surface staining or dye.
Chlorite Included Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) crystallizing in the trigonal crystal system, with Chlorite inclusions incorporated during growth. Chlorite itself is a group of hydrous magnesium, iron, and aluminum silicate minerals that typically form during metamorphism or hydrothermal alteration.
As Quartz crystals grow in mineral-rich fluids, fine Chlorite particles may settle onto crystal faces or remain suspended within the solution. Continued Quartz growth encapsulates these particles, preserving them as internal inclusions or phantom layers.
The presence of Chlorite does not significantly alter the hardness of Quartz, though heavily included specimens may have internal planes or zones that require careful handling.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Quartz with Chlorite inclusions |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ (Quartz) + Chlorite group inclusions |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Transparent to translucent |
| Inclusion Type | Chlorite (green phyllosilicate minerals) |
| Special Features | Phantoms, internal landscapes, growth zoning |
⚠️ Handling:
Handle from the base to protect crystal terminations. Included Quartz may have internal planes that benefit from gentle treatment.
🧼 Cleaning:
Generally water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking, especially if the crystal contains fractures. Dry thoroughly.
☀️ Light:
Chlorite Included Quartz is light-stable. Normal display lighting is safe.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately or padded to prevent abrasion from harder minerals. Stable display helps preserve clarity and internal detail.

Clear Quartz is the most widespread and versatile form of Quartz, valued for its transparency, structural clarity, and wide range of natural growth habits. Composed of silicon dioxide, it forms in diverse geological environments and is found on every continent.
Throughout history, Clear Quartz has been used by cultures worldwide for tools, ornamentation, ceremonial objects, and symbolic practices. Its clarity and durability made it a natural focal point for observation, reflection, and intention-based work long before modern terminology existed.
While Clear Quartz occurs globally, certain localities are especially prized for exceptional quality. Colombian Clear Quartz, particularly from high-altitude Andean regions, is widely regarded among collectors and practitioners as some of the highest-quality Clear Quartz in the world. These crystals are known for their exceptional clarity, brightness, and refined growth, often displaying high-frequency visual purity with minimal internal disruption.
Other notable sources include Brazil, Arkansas (USA), Madagascar, Himalayan regions, and Alpine environments, each producing distinctive variations in form and internal character.
Clear Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system. It commonly forms in hydrothermal veins, pegmatites, and igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary environments.
Quartz crystals grow when silica-rich fluids cool and crystallize over extended periods. The clarity of Clear Quartz depends on growth stability, temperature consistency, and the absence of inclusions during formation.
Clear Quartz may occur as single points, clusters, twin crystals, or specialized growth formations. Its hardness and chemical stability make it one of the most durable naturally occurring minerals.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Quartz (Clear / Rock Crystal) |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Transparent to translucent |
| Fracture | Conchoidal |
| Typical Formation | Hydrothermal veins, pegmatites, igneous & metamorphic rocks |
⚠️ Handling:
Clear Quartz is durable but crystal points and terminations can chip if knocked. Lift from the base when possible.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking if fractures or inclusions are present. Dry thoroughly.
☀️ Light:
Clear Quartz is light-stable and safe for normal display conditions.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately from softer minerals to prevent scratching. Stable display helps preserve terminations and clarity.
Rainbow Crystals are very good manifestation crystals – as they have all colors of the rainbow inside them. This means they stimulate every chakra, thus stimulating every creative level possible. The full spectrum of colors make it easier to bring these manifestations into physical reality.
A good manifesting meditation exercise to do with a rainbow crystal is to lie down – place the crystal on your solar plexus. Now using visualization – concentrate on breathing in each color through the crystal, then on wards through the solar plexus and into the chakra concerned. Start with red for the root chakra, orange for sacral, gold for solar plexus, green then pink for the heart, blue for the throat, purple for the third eye, and white light for the crown. Seven breaths for each chakra should suffice. Now you are attuned to the crystal and have activated the 7 chakras – you are ready to use conscious intent to place your manifestation wishes within the quartz using the crystal programming technique. Once you feel comfortable the crystal has received what you wish to manifest into your life – the crystal will go on radiating that program 24/7, vastly accelerating the manifestation process.
Rainbow Quartz Crystals come in all the different flavors and varieties of quartz. The rainbows help expand that crystals default properties. An example would be the default root chakra grounding properties of Smoky Quartz will be expanded to the rest of the chakras covered by that particular rainbows color spectrum. These higher energies generated by the rainbow will be grounded into each chakra by the Smoky Quartz grounding properties.
