Description

Most times this material is wrong labeled as "Grape-Agate", in fact we know that this is amethyste. Lot of this specimen flooded the market, but only a small area produced specimen in this intense color and at this high level of quality. And it is not just a cluster - the amethytse is set on matrix and shows great contrast. Further amethyste in botryoidal habit is really exceptional - except this one discovery nearly unique. Excellent piece in finest quality. No significant damages to report and very showy in various positions.
