Amethyst (Allen Penick Coll.)

Item Description

A sculptural and aesthetic 360-degree cluster of intergrown amethyst crystals from this less well-known Virginia locale and the Allen Penick Collection. The glassy crystals are water-clear to translucent and have pretty variable purple color. Crystal faces are limpid to frosted and some have an iron oxide tint. There are very nifty, hard-to-see, chevron phantoms in the upper crystal termination. Complete all-around and actually in great shape. A broken lower crystal has a totally healed face and another contacted area has no damage, per se. Trivial brusing to the tip is certainly only a modest detraction to this fine and uncommon amethyst.
