Description

A superb matrix specimen of Goboboseb from the claim with most colorful amethysts.

The main crystal size is 8.6 x 3 x 2.6 cm. It is intense purple and has good luster especially at the top. The top is in good condition - there is no dangerous crack and crystal is stable located on the basalt matrix - which of course is always wanted.

The crystal beside is not completed, but prepared as "matrix background" (for sure it could not grow to finish in the druse). At the top there is an additional cluster of small amethysts, where 2 are not completed, but does not disturb the overall impression.

Specimen was preparated in good harmony with leaving enough, but not too much matrix.
