Description

You can get tons of pale violet "kaktus"-amethyste from South Africa, but this one is on a completely different level - the color shows a really crazy good saturation, compare-able with famous material from Jacksons crossroad or best color from Brazil. All crystal are complete and free-standing, the faces are highly lustrous and the assemble is very aesthetic. No significant damages to report.
