Item Description

An excellent cluster of glassy, highly lustrous amethyst points from an obscure locality in the well-known Kingston Range of California. The transparent to translucent crystals have frosted faces and variable purple color. A few chevron-shaped phantoms in the terminations are noted. Just a bit of scattered, very minor termination wear is noted, along with the periphery wear. Way above average California amethyst. Older material (1989) from the Bob Trimingham Collection. Value??
