Description

A very esthetic bowtie of double terminated amethyst crystals. Delicate purple color and truly negligible peripheral contacts. A truly three-dimensional specimen, perched on a perpendicular crystal which makes the bowtie almost float. Also, the main crystal has a cap which is a partial development of a scepter.

Glued on a custom made base, this is a classic feature for the collection of B. Flurin (CH), which dates it back to the 50s-70s. Noteworthy, the purchase of non-Swiss specimens in Switzerland used to cost a small fortune back in the days! 

An excellent specimen in great conditions. The locality reported on the label is Conception de Oro, but in my opinion this is Las Vigas.
