Amethyst Quartz Crystal Group on Matrix - NAM 038

Description:  A beautiful group of amethyst quartz crystals with a band of smoky colouring, sit on a small feldspar matrix.

The seller tried to hide nicks to a few faces at the back of the specimen, by grinding the surface (see image bottom left). Otherwise, the specimen has only a few small nicks, pressure mark and flaws. 

It displays very well.
