	An awesome display of specular hematite coating internal phantoms.

	Another hematite phantom.� It is very neat to compare the shape of it's former self with its current one -- its past being solidified and frozen in time within the crystal.�

	Some of my favorites.. The first is a specimen with a very defined phantom -- one of the best from my collection. It is mud, chlorite, and hematite included. The second is one of my favorites because it looks like a castle inside the crystal. No reason to explain for the rest of them.

	This crystal must have grown around a bonsai tree.

	Really really nice crystals. I think these types of crystals is what spurred my preference in crystals with inclusions. These, and mud-included crystals. Plain quartz crystals are still nice, but just aren't as interesting to me now. That last one isn't the "Oak Tree" is it? It doesn't quite look like I remember it. I'm a not forgettin' that one, Scott. I am trying to figure out what would equal that in a trade.
