Description

Not very large, but concerning quality and color one of the best I ever saw from the locality. The double terminated, exposed, isolated main amethytse crystal shows outstanding quality: Razor sharp termination, best color - compareable with darkest, most intense colored amethytse from namibia or jackson´s cross roads. Crazy good saturation, even with sharp terminated zoning inside. The forth photo in the galery shows teh bottom of the specimen and you can see that the main crystal developed a sharp endpoints even at the bottom and even at the bottom it is completey undamaged. Overall - there is not even a minor damage - the crystal is perfect all around, complete without any compromise or contact. Well balanced on dark matrix which is covered by sparkling micro crystals of colorless quartz.
