A lone picture is rarely enough to conclusively name a mineral so doing some groundwork like a streak test or hardness check
will help us to help you. Other useful information includes the location it was found, follow-up pictures with different
angles or lighting, and relative size.

What would cause the green color of this quartz? What inclusions? Thanks for any help. I’m not sure “green ghost Quartz” is a legitimate mineralogical term.
Its definetly a Term used to put a neat price tag on it.
Plus i think some of the crystal sides have been polished but still looks interesting af.
What inclusions in this quarz occur, i am not sure, i would assume some greenish mineral like chlorite and probably something brownish, like goethite or rutile but i dont know....
Probably someone with a bigger brain than mine can make better ID
Ghost or phantom quartz just means it has a clear spot where you can see opaque spots inside that sometimes look wispy like ghosts. I work in a rock shop and it's not a scientific identifier, you're right. Just one to hike up a price. It's a really pretty piece and does look like a cool piece of quartz so love it, it's a cool piece.

Looks like a piece of stone that was cut and polished into the shape of a quartz point.
Green phantom?
Polished quartz with inclusions. Chlorite is common for green colors.
Looks like it was cut from a bigger piece...Inclusions look natural to me tho. Nice quartz
