Description

Incredible lustrous and sparkling cluster of amethyst from Romania. The hundrets of crystals are nicely developed and show a deep purple colour - this is the most remarkable indicator, most Romanian amethyste specimens are only on very light color - the saturation of this one is really remarkable! Also some pyrite is present between some of the crystals.
