Item Description

A striking, parallel-growth trio of pretty variable lavender, sharply terminated amethyst crystals from this remote region of Kenya. The jagged spires look like "purple mountain's majesty" and the intense skeletal feature on the large crystal really adds glamour. Contacting against other crystals and just a tiny bit of termination bruising is noted. Certainly nothing to detraction. This area has recently produced some stunning amethyst specimens and this is a fine example.
