You need a brighter light (e.g. outdoors in the garden on a bright but cloudy day) so that your camera can use a faster shutter speed and stop your pictures being blurry.

I have amber with a bug, but I’ve never heard of quartz with plants or animals inside.

The stone is agate. Agate has many varieties, and some do look like plants or other organic material is trapped inside.
Here is a dendritic agate that I have. As you can see, it looks like plant matter is inside.

How about a Herkimer diamond?

It’s physically impossible to get an insect trapped within a quartz crystal. Quartz is formed well below the earths surface, there is no organic matter present. Amber, which can contain organic material is formed from plant sap at the earths surface where organic matter is present.
What it could be is staining / feather from an iron oxide or other element being present or by seeping in / through as the crystal formed.

And please beware as there is 'fake amber' (plastics) with present day insects (bugs!) in them being sold as real amber with bugs...................not the same thing!!
