Unique and stunning Brandberg miniature measuring 42 x 26 x 16 mm. Specimen consists of a gemmy, doubly terminated and beautifully twinned, stepped formation Smokey Quartz crystal with a transparent, sharp tabular Amethyst crystal of deeply saturated purple colour, growing in parallel on matrix. Both crystals exhibit superb vitreous luster.
