A superb Chinese combination piece from a unique find of apophyllite on amethystine quartz, that to this day remains unrivalled though this came out 5 years ago. This piece was exhibited at the Tucson 2000 show as a new find. It has since been in a private collection, since I bought it out of Irv Brown's display case at that show. It has a sparkle and life to it that makes these among the glassiest quartzes around, and the gem-clear apophyllites atop enhance the pale amethystine color. 10 x 5.5 x 5 cm
