This amethyst is unusual in that it has a really pleasing gradient of color from top to bottom that is special on its own merit combined with obvious stunning clarity and internal brightness. The crystal has the best glassy luster, and is absolutely perfect - razor sharp! It has no dings. The termination is so sharp you can cut skin on it - one of the best Quartz terminations you could ask for and just exceptional in quality in a way hard to describe without seeing it... It just has a look of perfection, somehow. The crystal is clear on top, zoned lavender in middle, and a bit richer pastel purple at the base. From local collector Zach Goodman, who purchased this in a larger specimen and had it trimmed carefully out. The result is a 3-dimensional, complete all around, gem crystal on matrix (with no repairs). Comes with a custom lucite display base (free).

Regional guide
Amethyst from Goboboseb Mountains, Namibia
Goboboseb amethyst is the collector’s “Brandberg” amethyst in its most important market sense: glassy quartz from the basalt country west of the Brandberg massif, showing purple amethyst, smoky quartz, rock crystal, phantoms, hematite veils, and mobile fluid inclusions in combinations that are unusually expressive for quartz. The best crystals are not merely purple; they look internally built, with smoky stems, violet caps, ghost-crystal outlines, clay or hematite veils, and trapped liquid-vapor bubbles that animate the specimen when it is turned in the hand.
