Item Description
A superb, complete all-around amethyst cast after a very sharp, pseudohexagonal calcite crystal from Artigas, Uruquay. The glassy, sparkly, amethyst crystals have rich purple color. Looking at the hollow reveals how sharp the calcite crystal was. Essentially pristine, except for the trivial periphery wear at the opening on the back. Outstanding older material, probably from the 1970s or 80s from the Jaime Bird Collection.
