An extremely dark purple amethyst crystal with a halo of calcite matrix. Really a neat piece, though admittedly the calcite crust overhangs too much. There is also a small contact in the lower-left portion of the crystal, hence hte low price.

Gorgeous gem of a crystal. Glassy quartz with a superb amethyst phantom gives this gem incredible eye appeal. This piece is just STUNNING. It is superfically pristine though if you are really picky, you can see some minute chattering o na few edge angles. I don't care. I love it. the Stark contrast is simply striking , and very different than the usual we see here.
