Amethyst (old classic European Locale)

Item Description

Beautiful, lustrous, gemmy rich grape-purple amethyst crystals are festooned on both sides of this sculptural, old-timer from this classic locale. The preferential drusy quartz overgrowth on the left side of the front adds contrast and pizzazz. The front is pristine, except for the acceptable periphery wear on the left side. This specimen is a very important old classic for amethyst, and a scarcely seen item in even the most prominent old collections. It is probably 120-plus years old and comes with a very faded and torn old label. Consider that at one time these were the BEST purple amethyst crystals for the collector in the world, for overall quality, and a treasured few specimens commanded their weight in gold at the time. This is, for the size and aesthetics, an excellent European classic! From an East Coast collection. valued $750-1000
