A dark purple, gemmy amethyst specimen with plenty of eye appeal. There is a tiny little almost invisible ding at the tip of the crystal which does not detract visually from this specimen.

Quartz var. Amethyst from Gobobos, Namibia [db_pics/pics/bb114a.jpg]

We offer you a gem of a crystal with this piece. You look right in through a beautiful gemmy , lustrous face to a deep, deep purple interior o fhigh color saturation. It glitters from the inside of the crystal to the outside calcite veil. There is some contacted portion on the right side, out of display sight, and a small contact on the lower lip of the crystal as it tucks down to the base, on the lefthand bottom portion. Still, a very choice amethyst miniature, and the matrix association makes it unusual for the locale.

This unusual, off-centered scepter has very deep amethyst color and is a "one of a kind" from this wonderful Namibian location. Both teh geometry and the color are highly unusual! Moreover, the color is the deepest grape-juice hue and saturation you can imagine.

Quartz var. Amethyst sceptre from Gobobos, Namibia [db_pics/pics/bb39b.jpg]

A cute miniature scepter that has that dark, desirable coloration. It is absolutely beautiful, and has intense grape juice color - but is more gemmy and lustrous than others from the collection of this intensely purple style of amethyst for some reason. Pristine except for one small contact on the back face of the sceptre head. BERY rare specimen in hue and quality!
