Description

What a fantastic crystal from Namibia. This double terminated and as a floater developed crystal of amethyst shows highly lustrous faces all over as well as good preserved tips. The center of the specimen shows super intense purple colour with some more satturated and some less satturated parts. The tips of the specimen fade into a fantastic reddish colour-mix due to hematite inclusions with incredible patterns visible inside.
