| 2846) AMETHYST
"FLOWER", Irai, Rio
Grande do Sul, Brazil - 12 x 11 cm, $395.00 |
This is a top quality
flower. The color and clarity of the Amethyst is excellent.
The flower is undamaged but has a small area of contact with another
flower on the bottom center of the photo on the left. The crystals are
long and pristine along the perimeter. Just below center are two
mounds of gemmy Amethyst. Excellent quality flowers are scarce. This
one was hand selected from a lot out of Brazil in May of 2000. Most
flowers are cloudy and hence a much lower quality.

2648) CALCITE, Irai, Rio
Grande do Sul, Brazil - 12 x 9 x 5.5 cm, This is an
excellent cluster of damage free Calcite. 2 calcites on the specimen
edge have cleavage but the main specimen is incredibly damage free.
It is hard to find good damage free Brazilian calcite specimens because
calcite easily cleaves during the collection process. The Calcite
crystals form a "Calcite Water lily". Due to the Chlorite
inclusions the cream colored Calcites have dark green highlights.
This is an excellent example of a Brazilian Calcite. $395.00 SOLD |
