Description

A group of highly lustrous sharp terminated amethyste crystals with a few exposed crystals in the center. In front of the main crystals there is a "hole" - there must have been an unidentified mineral which was etched out during genesis and so you can see this "hole" framed by micro crystals of quartz - this amazing detail is much better visible in person. No significant damages to report.
