A fine Rift Valley amethyst showing interesting skeletal growth. The crystal has just a subtle blush of purple color in the center. It is quite transparent, so you get a good view of the growth patterns which are now encased in the center. There is even an enhydro (bubble trapped in a water pocket) that moves about an inch from one end to another of a narrow, elongated, bending pocket.
