Item Description
A surreal looking large multi-generational growth of amethyst from the famous basalt deposits of Rio Grande do Sul. A stunning, layered, 6.5 cm tall, "pop up pagoda" of beautiful gemmy purple amethyst points and highly unusual thin layered quartz dramatically dominates the amazing 360-degree piece. The circular piece, covered with more sparkly rich purple quartz points above the layered quartz matrix, that includes contrasting green Celadonite, a Mica Group mineral, adds to and complements this exceptional and fantastic looking amethyst from Brazil. Ex Hefendehl Collection. Kurt Hefendehl was a most well-known collector in the mineral world all over Europe with worldwide contacts to dealers and collectors. He started seriously collecting in the age of 14 and his great and various worldwide collection reached a number of over 6000 pieces. He was incredibly mineralogically active, until shortly before his passing in 2020 in the age of 82 years. His collection had, considering that high number of pieces, an unusual high quality standard from most worldwide localities. He particularly specialized in all classics; and the minerals of the Black Forest where he spent many visits collecting (that and the Germany subcollection went to his good friend Wolfgang Wendel. The Italian suite went to Marini). We have the rest to offer over the next 2-3 years, through our platforms. We have lost a great friend and connoisseur, a true mineral collector of the Golden Age.
