A very aesthetic amethyst! Sprays are the norm from here, yet this one is unusual in that it's two sprays back
to back forming a killer cluster, both sides are shown in the photos. Currently, the small cabinet size of 8 x 3.6
cm is probably the most sought after as well. Good price considering its perfect balance, not easy to find!

and not small in hand, terminates on back too. Excellent gem thumbnail worth acquiring!
