Amethyst (with phantoms) (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

Some of the finest quality and diverse Quartz specimens in the world come from the Goboboseb Mountain in Namibia. Truly most of these specimens are labeled as Brandberg, but the actual pieces from from the mountain which is about 8 miles away from there. Here we have a classic Amethyst crystal with beautiful purple color. The piece has great luster, with good gemminess in areas, plus it is about as sharp a Quartz crystal gets. Some slight phantoms can be see when the piece is backlit to create a very pleasing internal appearance. This is one of the last specimens that Rich Kosnar personally purchased for his collection.
