Wiluite is a Siberian variation of Idocrase and depending on the color can be confused with quartz. Both of which are NOT very valuable anyway.
The Phantom Quartz is simply a Trade name or Commercial name to make the gem sound better than it really is.
For example Cape Ruby sound much better than Pyrope Garnet, which it actually is.

Archaeologists have found traces of a fermented drink containing heather on a 3000 year old pottery shard. Legend states that in the 4th century, Vikings defeated the Pictish army and cornered the King and his son…

When one seeks a gemstone bracelet, diamonds in a tennis-style bracelet are a splendid choice. But choosing a bracelet, whether it be a diamond tennis bracelet or any other, is a personal choice.

G’day Sabir and manythanks for your feedback but it is illegal for me to make a comment on something I can’t see, feel measure or test.
I can’t - but you can - especially as you already have the gemological report.
Remember that there is NO SUCH THING as an exact price. It is what you as a willing seller are prepared to sell it to a willing buyer.
The Gemological Lab Reports only give you an estimated range FOR INSURANCE REPLACEMENT ONLY! That is a different price than if you were to sell it on say - eBay.
Hope all this helps….
