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 particular piece shows very strong, dark color and the dimension is quite impressive. One photo under daylight, the second under artificial light.
