Item Description
This is a classic style of Guerrero amethyst, with colorless gem tips grown over blush-purple to light brown cores. The contrast is striking, unusual, and nearly unique to this location in terms of drama (it happens at Brandberg, too). This particular piece is a glorious V-shaped spray. The effect is striking in person and looks fabulous from either side. This aesthetic piece is pristine and is certainly one of the finest small cabs we have offered at auction. Material like this hasn't been dug up in decades, and is hard to find today on the market. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
