A large, very ornate compound crystal of amethyst from the Rift Valley in Kenya - of TOP quality. You can see the beautiful repetition of the crystal form along the display face, basically a sort of turbo-sceptering. There is good transparency into the face, and a pretty variegation between clear and a wonderful soft lavender color. You can see some natural ragged stepped areas. What you cannot see is the nice luster - just did not come through in the photo. A really sizeable crystal, too!
