I am not normally big on basaltic amethyst geodes, but every now and then one of them turns up that blows me away with its exquisite crystallization inside the former lava bubbles. This UNDAMAGED, PRISTINE stalactite leaps up from matrix, and is just plain dramatic. It is 7.5 inches tall! The stalactite is complete 360 degrees. Comes in a custom Brazilian wood base, for easy display. (and with a former dealer label at $3500...so it may be an old find, I suppose)
