Spirit Quartz Amethyst Crystal Cluster, Mpumalanga, South Africa—SM19

This little beauty is spirit (or cactus) quartz, from South Africa! The cluster is amethyst, coated by multiple bright lilac hued terminations, with golden accents—a result of iron staining. This is a small and super sparkly natural crystal cluster, and features a main crystal which splits into multiple terminations; this structure is covered by clusters of multiple tiny crystals. It features unique structure, color grades, and sharp terminations. (As an unpolished piece, it has minor abrasions and inclusions, which do not lessen it's beauty). This is a well-formed, beautiful shaped cluster, which lays at an angle but would be lovely upright on a stand. This sweet little cluster would make a perfect addition to any specimen or healing collection.
