Item Description
Fine example of the unique and intriguing 'hourglass' Amethysts that hit the market in 2009. The coloration is a rich purple, and the definition of the phantoms is excellent. These are extremely unusual for Quartz, and quite aesthetic. Even the flying monkeys highly approved of this particular hourglass (sorry - a Wizard of Oz joke there). There are numerous references to Jack and his collection in print, but perhaps a good tour of the collection and its history will help give perspective on just how good, and important, this collection is: https://www.irocks.com/the-jack-halpern-collection
