Description

Super unique and rare specimen from Austria. Alpine amethyst in this quality are barely seen on the common market and highly sought after. This example is even more unique. The well developed crystal shows a good purple colour at the top termination and a clear bottom part with even a small crystal attached to it. Cherry on the cacke is definitely the partially deep green chlorinated tip which enhances the contrast super nice.
