Item Description
Matrix amethyst specimens of this quality are uncommon from the Goboboseb Mountains and this very fine specimen is from the Charlie Key Collection. Luscious, swirling shades of grape-purple fill the lustrous, transparent crystals. Complete all-around. The architecture of the cluster is striking. The two vertical crystals are pristine, with the angled crystal being contacted, but not damaged per se. Exceptional, highly prized matrix material from this noted locale from a renowned Namibian collector. Valued at $750 or more because IT IS WAY BEYOND THE NORM FOR COLOR in any amethyst....trust us, in person
