A large and spectacular Kenyan quartz crystal! It has Brandberg-like qualities in the isolation of the intense blush of purple color in the interior, and Brazilian qualities in the "elestial" style sub-crystal growth and skeletal growth anomalies. There is some smoky color here complementing the purple amethystine tones. There is a natural contact face on the back of the top of the crystal (as it is shown in the photo), and a small area of contact on the back of the bottom side. That is natural etching at the upper termination, not damage! A super-impressive locality quartz specimen.
