Doubly-terminated Amethyst/Smoky Quartz

Item Description

A striking, doubly terminated, amethsyt/smoky quartz crystal from recent finds in the famous Goboboseb Mountains. This dramatic piece is super glassy and nearly totally water-clear. The highly unusual amethyst/smoky color zoning complimented by the colorless terminations makes this a very distinctive specimen. There appears to be a distinct line, where the smoky color just stops. Every turn of this sharp, pseudohexagonal crystal presents an entirely different perspective of the interior of this stunning crystal. Complete all-around, the trivial termination wear on one end is barely noticeable and the contacting on one side, with no damage, per se, is out of sight on the back. This is certainly one of the more unusually color-zoned Brandberg quartzs that we have offered at auction.
