Description

Micro crystals of amethyste formed spheres - their surface consits of sparkling micro faces. Most times this material is wrong labeled as chalcedony or as grape-agate - after serious scientfic studies we know that it is amethyste. The specimen is developed as floater and looks very tridimensional and aesthetic is each position. There is a lot of contrast of very light tiny spheres at the base and lavender larger spheres in the upper aerea. The assemble reminds is very sculptural and reminds to a tree.
