Amethyst (old classic European Locale!)

Item Description

Gemmy, beautiful, blush-purple tips highlight this striking and impressive dense forest of amethyst crystals on this very fine and rich large old-timer from this classic locale. The lustrous, glassy crystals reach at least 2.5 cm on this sculptural plate. Very nearly pristine, with only a couple of hard-to-see bruised terminations on the right side and a trival bit of acceptable periphery wear. 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 faded 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, richness and aesthetics, an exceptional European classic! From an East Coast collection. Valued $1000
