Description

Beautiful amethyst crystals on calcite from Osilo. These crystals are sharp, lustrous and transparent. Some show a reverse-sceptre habit. They have very good colour, contrasting beautifully with the pale green calcite crystals upon which they are perched. In excellent condition, a very fine Italian amethyst from the John White collection.
