Amethyst Crystals
We received a few more of this new find from the Brandberg area of Namibia in our November preview and they sold out before many of you had even had a chance to look at them. We have managed to get a few more but there is still no conclusion as to whether this is going to be a large find or if it is just a small pocket. At the moment only a few have reached us and they are fetching premium prices.
Amethyst crystals are usually small chunky ones removed from a drusy cluster where it has formed as part of a geode. These have formed as a quartz crystal would, are perfectly natural not polished. A geologist friend of mine is of the opinion that they are a unique find. I certainly have not seen anything like it before.
I am absolutely entranced by these new crystals.

| Self standing and entirely stunning this is from the same dark
amethyst find but again unique. Clear quartz crystal with an amethyst
heart a band of amethyst runs the length of the inside of this crystal.
From an aesthetic point of view this is just a wondrous stone a light
coating of calcite runs around the base and the black circle marks a
small water bubble with plenty of movement. The secondary point although
appearing damaged at a glance displays etchings and regrowth that imply
it formed this way in the ground. The photos say it all this is a
specimen one feels compelled to pick up and hold or simply spend time
just looking at. Size:2½x2x1¼ inches Price:$90(plus shipping and handling) sold |

| Two amethyst crystals with a third bridging the base. The
larger crystals have hints of milky quartz in them whilst the bridging
crystal is pure dark amethyst. The contrast is very attractive in this
self standing crystal I am drawn into the heart where tiny rainbows
dance.
Size 2¼ x 2 x 2 inches - 54 x 48 x 48 mm Price $60.00 (plus shipping and handling) sold |
