Here you have a lovely quartz with wisps of amethyst and smoky AND a moveable water bubble embedded inside!
ex. Charlie Key
A PERFECT, chiseled specimen of clear quartz with a very rich amethyst phantom. A wonderful example of quartz from the Gobobos.
ex. Charlie Key
A most interesting flattened crystal of amethyst-included quartz with three different, distinct phantom layers separated by clear zones, and a few sharp smoky layers as well - mesmerizing! A truly remarkable specimen
ex. Charlie Key
Microcrystalline red-orange billietite microcrystals with rich coverings of dark green Vandenbrandeite crystals, amongst malachite . Not so great a billietite, but a very good Vandenbrandeite for the price and the billietite is a bit of a bonus
ex. Charlie Key
A very gemmy amethyst crystal perched on feldspar from the Brandberg mountains. Rare association with crystallized matrix, at that. The crystal measures 5 cm tip to tip and is doubly-terminated as you can see. It displays well horizontally as shown, or vertically with the rocket-shaped crystal atop the matrix.
ex. Charlie Key
This a very choice, dark purple amethyst scepter sitting on nicely-formed feldspar crystals - rare on such crystallized matrix! The sceptre is the color of the purest grape juice, and complete all around. It is 3 cm-plus tall.
ex. Charlie Key
A superlative, sharp, gemmy raspberry purple with a beautiful phantom. This one is a stellar example of amethyst from this locality.
ex. Charlie Key
This single crystal has an incredible rich dark hue, the deepest color saturation combined with the best transparency. The chattering at the rear of the termination keeps this specimen from being MUCH more expensive,i.e. thousands of dollars. Nonetheless, it shows wonderfully as from the front you do not see the slight wear on the back angled edge of the terminations to the rear. On display in a showcase, at eye level, this will glow, impress, and literally look like the finest amethyst for the size you can imagine.
ex. Charlie Key
This lightly-colored amethyst with a smoky head is a scepter shape on the left side and a normal growth pattern on the right half. Very interesting and gemmy specimen, with delicate phantoms internalized.
ex. Charlie Key
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.
ex. Charlie Key
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.
ex. Charlie Key
A magnificent clear, gemmy quartz crystal with a dark purple phantom enhancing the interior. There are nine cute prehnite balls attached to the back which complete this 360-degree , pristine, specimen. It is so sharp, like cut, and one of my favorite single crystals in the whole offering.
ex. Charlie Key
A jewel of a quartz crystal, beautifully included with hematite and a smoky amethyst phantom. REALLY impressive in person, and with super sharp discrete phantoms that make this simple crystal look so complex at first glance
ex. Charlie Key
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.
ex. Charlie Key
A sharp example of well-formed uraninite from this classic locale! RARE AND OLD!
