A fine purple amethyst quartz crystal from the Goboboseb Mountains of Namibia. These amethyst crystals are noted for their glassy beauty and difused, swirl-like, interior color distribution. This particular specimen is a single crystal that was a part of a larger group. You can see the areas on its sides where other amethyst crystals used to be. Not damaged, but a natural crystal with limited room to grow. The termination is perfect.
