Amethyst / Smoky Quartz with moving water bubble inclusion

Item Description

Amethyst crystals from Myanmar aren't terribly common, and enhydro crystals are virtually unseen in my experience. This specimen is a very good quality Quartz with very pale lilac Amethyst and very slightly smoky Quartz zones inside of a lovely, sharp tapered crystal with almost "reverse scepter" or Ticino/Tessin habit. The piece has great luster and superb internal clarity to boot. It honestly looks better in person, it was somewhat difficult to photograph/video. The most interesting aspect of the piece is that is contains a good size moving water bubble! We took a video to show the bubble moving inside the crystal, and it travels a good distance when the crystal is rotated. We found a secondary smaller bubble, but it doesn't move nearly as much. If you like Quartz crystals or enhydro crystals, don't miss out on this rare beauty from Myanmar. Retail value is $850. From the collection of Bill ("Burma Bill") Larson of Fallbrook, California. Bill is a well-known gem and mineral dealer as well as a miner and collector. Bill traveled the world for decades in search of fine gems and minerals, and was directly involved in the in-person acquisition and importation of superb specimens and stones from Myanmar (Burma).
