Amethyst (RARE un-etched crystal!)

Item Description

A superb crystal of Amethyst (not Ametrine) from this well-known Ametrine locality in Bolivia. I have seen thousands of crystals from this locality, and the majority of them are heavily etched, and rarely even retain their original hexagonal form. I've seen plenty of un-etched regular Amethyst crystals, but it is EXCEPTIONALLY RARE to find such euhedral, RAZOR sharp, lustrous GEM quality crystals of Amethyst from Anahi. This piece is not only sharp and un-etched, but a textbook crystal with WET luster and smooth faces on every side, along with being WATER CLEAR. It's actually a bicolor crystal as it shows purple and colorless zones. I've only seen a few of these over the years, and I know for a fact that this one was mined 25 years ago, so don't hold your breath waiting for another one to show up. All in all, this is the an outstanding representation of this beautiful variety of Quartz, even if there's a bit of edge wear here and there.
