Large Grape Jelly Amethyst on Matrix (Ref: JH19-AMBIG)
Goboboseb Mountains, Brandberg, Erongo, Namibia
96mm x 183mm x 105mm
minID: D30-NUR
This is an absolutely outstanding and unique amethyst specimen from Namibia! The aesthetics are fantastic with 3 primary amethyst crystals, each of whic his a deep "grape jelly" purple color. On the left side is the smallest of the 3 primary crystals, and it's actually a double-sidecar crystal with two terminations. In the middle is the beast - a bit fat amethyst crystal that measures 5.2cm in diameter! Then, on the right side is a beautiful 13.7cm long, double-terminated amethyst crystal that looks amazing shooting up from the matrix. The matrix itself has numerous much smaller quartz/amethyst crystals growing on it, and much of it has a light druzy coating. Sorry. This specimen has been sold.
