Item Description

Here we have a wonderful, doubly-terminated skeletal / "window" ("Fenster") Quartz specimen with rich purple Amethyst color zones and a medium Smoky Quartz hue throughout. Additionally, the color is enhanced when a strong light is focused on either end and a unique Opal-esque BLUE coloration appears! The entire specimen has superb GLASSY luster, excellent sharpness and is virtually WATER-CLEAR througout. The numerous stepped faces throughout the specime give it a great deal of character. Very worthwhile for the Quartz collector, and certainly different from the majority of Amethyst / Smoky Quartz specimens that I've seen from this locality.
