Condition

Two almost parallel, amethystine, terminated Quartz crystals to 7.4 cm in length form an attractive almost matrixless display with a few smaller crystals protruding slightly from near its base and an additional termination between the main two crystals on one side. Its base is a rough, recessed, beige-coloured surface representing a little host rock and opaque white Quartz which transitions upwards throughout the crystals to a greater transparency with colourless and vibrant purple zones. Their terminations are pristine and their purple colour appears as wispy, ghost-like inclusions. Additionally, at least one moving bubble can be seen inside. A 1980s or 1990s classic from Tafelkop in the Goboboseb Mountains, Erongo Region, Namibia.
