Description

Normally I wouldn't bother with a broken vug piece like this one, but the color is really extraordinary - real deep amethyst-purple of the best quality.

However I must confess the pictures were done under artificial light and I found out it's hard to adjust that later. The pictures are a little bit too reddish purple. Still fantastic color in nature.
