A really aesthetic and dramatic cluster of amethyst from a most hard-to-get locality today, though it was once known as a European classic some time ago. The color is more purple in person, grading to white - the photo just enhances the white portions for some reason at the expense of the color gradient. This old piece is complete all around and has only trivial wear, miraculously almost pristine. Comes with AMNH label (a modern label made at deaccession, though showing a very early accession number from the 1800s, #3475).
