Item Description
Amethyst is EXTREMELY RARE from any Shigar Valley locality and on top of that, this is a doubly terminated, sceptered parallel-growth cluster with two movable bubbles! The yellow paper arrows point to the bubbles. This dramatic, large, 360-degree piece has a spectacular, deeply incised termination area. The glassy, transparent to translucent crystal has pretty light lavender color and the 2.6 cm terminated schorl and albite are super accents. Complete all-aroundand essentially pristine. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock, who valued this fine rarity at $450 more than five years ago. A must for the locality or quartz collector. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
