Comment: Sitting neatly in its custom-carved wooden stand, this is a spectacular showpiece of stalactitic amethyst from Uruguay. As you can see, the stalactitic "fingers" are all complete, which is most uncommon - it was cut out of the pocket, trimmed and mounted just perfectly to show off the crystals at their best. Comes with a Victor Yount label.
