Did you know that some crystals contain water that is millions of years old?
It’s actually more common than you might think.
Crystals often grow in environments with water and develop at different rates.
This is because an enhydro technically refers to a geode filled with water.
And as geodes are porous, water can enter in and out of the center.
On the other hand, minerals like quartz often havefluid inclusions.
This then creates the air bubble that is so fun to see when the crystal moves.
Oil and carbon are two other common substances found in fluid inclusions.
And quartz isn’t the only crystal that can be filled with ancient water.
Selenite, aquamarine, and halite are just some of the other crystals that also can have fluid inclusions.
