Amethysts from Brandberg are prized by collectors for glassy luster and gemminess, but most of all for the subtle and beautiful "blushes" of purple color. Here you have a single fine crystal, with a little accenting sidecar crystal attractively leaning out from its base. Inclusions appear to be both iron oxide and lepidocrocite. There is at least one little moving bubble inside a water pocket ("enhydro") .
