Description

A sculptural Namibian amethyst cluster with deep violet-purple crystals, paler lilac edges and bright, glassy faces. Fine green-grey mineral detail traces the intergrown crystal surfaces, while pyrite within the matrix adds metallic accents.

The close-set crystals form a broad, irregular display face. Larger projecting points rise above smaller intergrowths, with deep purple centres giving way to lighter, translucent margins. The side views reveal pale quartz-rich material beneath the coloured crystal layer.

The associated green material is recorded as Epidote and/or Chlorite. Pyrite is intergrown within the matrix, as confirmed by the owner; individual dark surface specks are not all assigned to Pyrite. This combination gives the specimen contrasting colours, textures and reflective detail.

Collector notes

A distinctive 138 g display specimen for collectors of Namibian amethyst and associated minerals. The photographs show the individual formation from several angles, including the crystal-covered face, side profile and contact surfaces.
