description:
At one time a large scalenohedral calcite crystal 8.5 cm across, this now completely replaced by deep purple glistening gemmy amethyst crystals averaging 0.5 cm in size. This one is obviously hollow, as when you shake it you can hear something very tiny rattling on the interior. In excellent condition all around and measures 12.5 x 12.0 x 6.0 cm in size. Shipping weight: 1.07 pounds. Ex Robert Nowakowski collection.
