Item Description
Dramatically sculptural large multi-generational amethyst and quartz from this well-known South Africa locale, known for such specimens. Fantastic gem, glassy, blush-purple amethyst terminations crown all of the smaller crystals on this striking statuesque specimen. Scintillating sparkly druzy amethyst covers the crystals, including the impressive large crystal with the unusual termination. Light reveals an iron oxide coating beneath the druzy amethyst. The broken base reveals the first generation milky quartz crystals, that were coated by the iron oxides, before the druzy amethyst was deposited. Very interesting chemistry here. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175 for free. An exceptional large example from the locale. Valued at $3500.
