A superb, large, single color-zoned crystal of quartz from the world famous deposit in the Goboboseb Mountains of Namibia. The quartz crystal features a strong amethyst color-zone, with colorless "rock crystal" quartz in the base and termination of the crystal. The exterior condition of the crystal is outstanding having a classic prismatic form and glassy luster. As is typical with Goboboseb amethyst crystals the crystal interior has some growth features of vacuum bubbles and interrupted growth. The crystal has no attached matrix rock, but, these crystals occur within gas vesicles contained within basalts of volcanic origin. Dimensions (cm): 11.5 H x 4 W x 3 D.
