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. The color is the very best - there are tons of specimen with less saturation and/or with dull faces. Sparkling faces and this very dark intense violet color was found in low quantity - please note that this specimen is not common at all, it represents the very best quality of this really important discovery
