description:
Beautiful glassy translucent purple grouping of amethyst crystals measuring 5.2 x 3.0 x 2.5 cm in size. This is in great all around with only slight contacting on the back lower base. The backside of the crystal grouping is mostly covered by sparkling colorless micro crystals of apophyllite. The white streaks seen at lower left is an internal inclusion and not damage. I can find one extremely tiny minor micro-CHP near the termination. Quite nice and showy. Shipping weight: 0.22 pounds.
