A striking cabinet amethyst specimen. Gorgeous, glassy, translucent to transparent, purple crystals of amethyst stand side by side. The large crystal is 7.0 cm. The crystals really sparkle and are called "cactus quartz" for their form. The terminations are isolated, while the bodies have a prickly, "cactus" look with an overgrowth of smaller crystals. This is the true source for the amethystine quartz crystals (aka "cactus quartz" and "spirit quartz") erroneously marketed as being from the Magaliesberg Range. A lovely example with great color and the iron oxide inclusions are a very nice accent. Complete-all-around.
