Item Description
A striking and highly unusual doubly terminated amethyst crystal from the Charlie Key dealer stock. Three and one-half sides of this pseudohexagonal crystal are glassy, water-clear and reveal the beautiful, variable, purple, interior shading. The remaining faces are strikingly, preferentially etched, frosted and have a partial iron oxide overgrowth. One termination face has an impressive, triangular, deep-set, "fenster"/window or skeletal aspect. The bruising at the base is out of sight in the preferred display view. A highly unusual, 360-degree specimen from the Goboboseb.
