Item Description
Amethyst "flowers" from these old volcanic deposits in the border of Brazil and Uruguay are famous for their unique style. This is a particularly dramatic, elegant, complete cluster of two such flowers, side by side. Jack Halpern purchased this in the late 1980s from one of his favorite dealers, Ken Roberts; and Ken was known for his superb taste in aesthetics and lack of damage. Lesser examples are common (in some quality, generally lower), but this is a very fine example because of the size, the double cluster, and the perfection; and so it has stood the test of time while it was in the Halpern collection. Such a quality in this size is also rare, still, today even despite modern production.
