Amethyst Single Point Purple Crystal Calcite Cloak High Quality Mounted Display Rocks and Minerals Mineral Specimen Brandberg Namibia
This beauty is an excellent example of Brandberg amethyst, from Erongo Region, Namibia. It is a natural crystal with clean structure, mounted on a display plate at an aesthetic angle. Uniquely, the purple amethyst is mostly surrounded by a little “cloak” of yellowish calcite. I love the color and shape contrasts in this piece! This appealing specimen features beautiful formation, good interior clarity, and a lovely bright purple shade. (As an unpolished piece, it has minor abrasions and inclusions, which do not lessen it's beauty.) The amethyst crystal does display a fracture near the base which I don’t believe will affect durability; price takes condition into consideration. The cluster sits at a unique display angle, and self-stands slightly to the side. This is aesthetic specimen! Brandberg amethyst has become highly sought-after, as existing mines are producing fewer and fewer good quality specimens. This sweet cluster would make a perfect display specimen or meditation aid!
