This spectacular large crystal is DOUBLY-TERMINATED! Amethyst from this deposit has certain unique characters and this piece shows them all: Color zoning, rich purple to colorless gradient of color with a deep internal phantom, along with the pinching in the middle or a "bowtie" effect, make these specimens a must for collectors. This particular specimen has everything going for it there, plus is terminated on both ends to boot. A really dramatic piece from classic finds of the late 1980s. 12.3 x 2 x 2 cm
