As the quartz grew from hot, silica rich fluids moving through the rock, it sometimes enclosed tiny pockets of that fluid and sealed them inside the crystal. Millions of years later, some of those pockets remain trapped inside the crystal, with their contents moving when the crystal is tilted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are three distinct types of enhydro crystal:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne phase:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e a single fluid, either liquid or vapour.
