Item Description
A striking and uncommonly fine large amethyst on quartz from this less well-known locale. A 3.8 cm, sharp, variably blush-purple, translucent amethyst crystal is dramatically set on the tip and one side of the hexagonal milky quartz crystal. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial termination bruising to the amethyst. The base is broken and is partially rehealed. Rare and choice material in this style.
