Item Description
Unusual and highly desirable cluster of thirteen Amethyst crystals on a Quartz matrix. The Amethysts have very good luster, and grade from a light purple in the lower halves to a beautiful deep purple in the upper halves, the likes of which is normally seen in the amazing Uruguayan Amethysts. The largest of these Amethysts is a 3.5 cm doubly-terminated crystal lying parallel to the matrix. There are some trivial dings here and there, but it does not detract from the aesthetics of this terrific cluster from the famous Brandberg district. It is really a 360-degree displayable specimen.
