Item Description
Amethyst is an uncommon species from this well-known Chinese locale. This very showy and large plate consists of water-clear, glassy, facet-like, quartz crystals with nifty light lavender, powdery, amethyst phantoms. This fine combination piece also has the unusual association of clusters of olive-green epidote. This excellent piece is nearly pristine, with only very modest periphery wear.
