Description
Here we have a striking small cabinet sized Amethyst specimen. Gorgeous, glassy, translucent to transparent, purple crystals of Amethyst stand side by side on the plate. The two large crystals really dominates this piece. The crystals really sparkle and are called "cactus quartz" for their form. The terminations are isolated, while the bodies have a prickly, "cactus" look with an overgrowth of smaller crystals. This is the true source for the amethystine quartz crystals (aka "cactus quartz" and "spirit quartz") erroneously marketed as being from the Magaliesberg Range. A lovely example with great colour and the darker purple termination areas are a super accent. Complete-all-around and very nearly pristine.
