A large, showy, STUNNING specimen of super-sparkly amethyst that has pseudomorphed the earlier crystals of calcite, forming a hollow "cast" of the calcites. You can see underneath the specimen that the calcites are hollowed out, and tap on the big, striking hexagonal crystal (10 CM ACROSS!) and you will hear that it is hollow as well! Beautiful! This is an exceptional piece for the sort. 15.2 x 9.8 x 8.8 cm
