ENHYDRO QUARTZ CRYSTAL 01
Enhydro Quartz Crystal 01 for sale. Here is a stunning Enhydro with multiple inclusions of what exactly is a bit of a mystery. These moving inclusions are what looks like black carbon material inside a fluid which appears clear. There are five that I have found in this double terminated quartz crystal. Some are clusters or grouping of black material. Most are sinkers – sinkers fall down and floaters float up when turned to balance gravity.
Enhydro is the name given to a fluid or gas bubble trapped inside a crystal. These little bubbles are simply fascinating, it boggles the mind as to how it got there. The liquid inside can be water, petroleum, co2,oil or others. This Enhydro has material inside the bubble that sinks when the bubble floats up – I think it looks like carbon. Like the liquid inside could be millions of years old.
