Item Description
This is a superb quality, crystal of beautiful purple Amethyst and Smoky colorless Quartz from the well-known Goboboseb Mountains, near Brandberg, Namibia. The combination of the royal purple color of the specimen with the alluring smoky and colorless hues, is incredibly eye-catching. In addition to the beautiful colors, the crystal is VERY gemmy, virtually WATER CLEAR in areas, which is amplified by the HIGH surface luster on every side of the specimen. If you look closely, there is a MOVING WATER BUBBLE in the center of this piece, and we've illustrated this in the photo / video. You can also see tiny blood red, bladed inclusions of an iron oxide species, like Hematite, along with spherical inclusions of a grey hue, which is likely Goethite. The piece is in very good condition all around, with only a small point of contact on the upper edge on the crystal.. HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH, please check out the video in this listing to get a better idea of the quality and overall style of the piece. Priced at $3,500 in the inventory.
