Item Description
A beautiful, elegant stalactite of amethyst from the classic locale of Uraguay. This piece, however, is an older one, dating back probably 40 years. It was until recently in the Richard Hauck quartz collection. It is complete all around, and has intense, deep, grape-juice color. The highest quality alone though, does not make these more than lumps of purple unless you get form, too. And this stalactite, complete all around, has that good form. Valued $2000. Comes with custom-made base
