Item Description
A striking and aesthetic cluster of superb, highly lustrous and glassy, amethyst crystals with rich purple shading and nifty interior phantoms from Amatitlan. The large prism is fabulous and has only very trivial termination wear. Basal periphery wear and a few broken sidecar crystals are noted, but are only modest detractions. The overall presentation, glassiness and color shading of this fine piece is outstanding. Farily common in the late 1970s and early 80s, very few have been found recently. Get a good one when you can.
