Item Description

Brazilian amethyst pineapples of this high quality are desirable, especially older material from an obscure locality, such as this. Very glassy, transparent, crystals have striking purple phantoms to compliment the rich purple and near colorless zones of the crystals. This fine piece displays beautifully from either side and is in great shape, overall. The two tiptop crystals are lightly bruised and contacting at the base on one end is essentially out of sight. Ex Richard Hauck Quartz Collection from the 1970s or earlier.
