Item Description
I was fascinated by this specimen the last time I was in Melbourne, Australia, and saw an amethyst plate like this sitting in an important collection of Aussie classics and locales - the collection of well known dealer and collector, Robert Sielecki (Sieleckiite). I think, for sheer size and color, it is an important piece (especially for an Aussie museum... hint, hint...). I have never seen comparable, and neither had he in terms of quality in the size. It looks like large, fat Bolivian-quality amethyst crystals, but on a nice matrix. The piece is nearly pristine and is not repaired. It glows like "grape juice" in a case. A MAJOR LOCALITY SPECIMEN! Joe Budd photos. I couldn't believe it was from Australia! But this is indeed from Australia, and was in Robert Sielecki's own personal collection until we made an exchange. Valued $7500-plus
