Beautiful and not often seen specimen of Quartz var. Amethyst from Balkhash, Karaganda Region, Kazakhstan. It displays two, up to 15mm Amethyst crystals standing vertically of a cream crust with sculptural 360 degree exposition. They have rich violet color with strong transparency and colorless strips at the center. The crystals are very well formed, sharp and free-standing. They are doubly terminated. The quality is very high, with striking color and sparkling glassy luster. Some small colorless Quartz crystals are seen too. In excellent condition – some minor nicks. On acrylic base.
Fabulous!
