Description

We all know that the Erongo Mountains produce a lot of good quality and also quantity of amethyst crystals. This crystal I am offering here represents everything a good and esthetic Namibian amethyst should have. It is a perfect scepter crystal and developed as a floater. The colour is extremely intense at the bottom and is getting a bit mor pale to the top, there you have some blood-red hematite inclusions present as well. While one side shows some window formations too, another side has even an intergrown crystal at its face.
