Item Description
This surprised me when I saw it! It is actually a superb example of something that I often see mixed in on wholesale tabels with Brazilian calcites and amethyst but only as ugly, damaged, banged-up, and irrelevant material mixed in with decorator items, at the Tucson show form the Brazil importers. For the size, it actually is an awesome example of these pseudomorphs! And in good shape and without damage! This aesthetic specimen is complete all around, gorgeous in a subtle manner, and even backlights a nice ghostly white, when held up to light. For the size, with its balance like a Chinese fan, I cannot recall ever being so impressed by one of these rare pseudomorphs from Brazil. This would have formed inside an amethyst geode of tube. Valued $750
