Description

A spectacular crystal from Namibia - yes of course; amethytse from Erongo is not uncommon. But the modifications, the double-terminated habit, the intense color and the fine combination with minor mother-rock makes this one for sure stand out the crowd. Hard to photograph and much better in person.
