Amethyst

Item Description

This is a classic style of Guerrero amethyst, with snow white tips grown over grape-juice colored cores. The contrast is striking, unusual, and nearly unique to this location in terms of drama (it happens at Brandberg, too). This particular piece is really 3-dimensional, with the spray of smaller crystals diverging out from base. The effect is striking in person. The large crystal tip has very trivial bruising and there is a major, mostly clean repair to the entire piece below the mid-section. There are a couple of broken crystal tips and a bit of chipping here, but they have modest impact to the overall display quality of this impactful, good-sized piece. The snow white tips really make this a special and dramatic specimen. Material like this hasn't been dug up in decades, and is hard to find today on the market.
