Description

This is one from old finds - the cyrstals (29 mm on edge) are set in the center of the piece, in the middle of greenish epidote-layer. The amethyste crystals are razor-sharp terminated, their luster is over the roof (mirror-finish) and the color is outstanding, very intense, dark violet. The faces show some windows, which are not etched - all on the same high luster. There is not even a tiny damge - all crystals are in perfect condition. My resumee: all indicator; quality, assemble, aesthetics, color are best.
