bb114 - Quartz var. Amethyst - ¥ 21008 Gobobos, Namibia miniature, 5.6 x 2.4 x 2.3 cm ex. Charlie Key
We offer you a gem of a crystal with this piece. You look right in through a beautiful gemmy , lustrous face to a deep, deep purple interior o fhigh color saturation. It glitters from the inside of the crystal to the outside calcite veil. There is some contacted portion on the right side, out of display sight, and a small contact on the lower lip of the crystal as it tucks down to the base, on the lefthand bottom portion. Still, a very choice amethyst miniature, and the matrix association makes it unusual for the locale.
bb116 - Quartz var. Amethyst - ¥ 12605 SOLD Gobobos, Namibia small cabinet, 6.1 x 3.4 x 3.1 cm ex. Charlie Key
A dark purple, gemmy amethyst specimen with plenty of eye appeal. There is a tiny little almost invisible ding at the tip of the crystal which does not detract visually from this specimen.
bb117 - Quartz with Amethyst and Phrenite - ¥ 73529 Gobobos, Namibia small cabinet, 6.6 x 2.4 x 2.0 cm ex. Charlie Key
A magnificent clear, gemmy quartz crystal with a dark purple phantom enhancing the interior. There are nine cute prehnite balls attached to the back which complete this 360-degree , pristine, specimen. It is so sharp, like cut, and one of my favorite single crystals in the whole offering.
bb118 - Quartz var. Amethyst - ¥ 37815 SOLD Gobobos, Namibia miniature, 5.6 x 2.3 x 1.9 cm ex. Charlie Key
A jewel of a quartz crystal, beautifully included with hematite and a smoky amethyst phantom. REALLY impressive in person, and with super sharp discrete phantoms that make this simple crystal look so complex at first glance
bb119 - Quartz enclosing Amethyst - ¥ 63025 Gobobos, Namibia miniature, 5.9 x 3.0 x 2.1 cm ex. Charlie Key
Gorgeous gem of a crystal. Glassy quartz with a superb amethyst phantom gives this gem incredible eye appeal. This piece is just STUNNING. It is superfically pristine though if you are really picky, you can see some minute chattering o na few edge angles. I don't care. I love it. the Stark contrast is simply striking , and very different than the usual we see here.
bb120 - Quartz var. Amethyst - ¥ 84034 SOLD Gobobos, Namibia small cabinet, 7.9 x 6.4 x 6.4 cm ex. Charlie Key
A dark purple cluster of stunning , transparent, gemmy amethysts perched against one another in a flower-like cluster. This lovely group has a micro-chalcedony crust which adds interesting texture to som efaces, highlighting the lustre and purple hue of the others all the more. Better in person, and complete all around!
bb121 - Quartz var. Amethyst - ¥ 210084 SOLD Gobobos, Namibia cabinet, 13.2 x 8.5 x 6.2 cm ex. Charlie Key
This a great matrix specimen of extremely rare character and quality for the region! It is extremely difficult to obtain these due to the hard rock where they are found. There is a beautiful contrast between the rich purple amethyst on the white and black matrix. The crystals, to 4.5 cm, sit smugly in the middle, as if in a canoe, of a shallow cavity lined with calcite. The middle crystal is loose, wiggling a little on the matrix, but held in tight place by the two flanking crystals and so is not in need of repair or fixing...its interesting, actually, I think. For overall aesthetics, size, and quality (the amethysts are pristine and complete all around save for a contact on the back side only), this is hard to beat!
bb122 - Quartz enclosing Smoky Quartz phantom - ¥ 25210 Gobobos, Namibia cabinet, 9.7 x 7.3 x 7.2 cm ex. Charlie Key
Here is your chance to own a fabulous gem quartz with a smoky phantom. This specimen has been repaired to a sawn base, but was replaced as it originally grew. If you do not like the base it would be easy to remove the crystal and have one of the best smoky phantom singles in the collection...still worth the $300 on its own merit. But, we left it on, as Charlie did, for the overall impact.
bb123 - Quartz var. Amethyst with clay inclusions - ¥ 58824 SOLD Gobobos, Namibia cabinet, 14.5 x 6.2 x 5.5 cm ex. Charlie Key
A giant single crystal with mesmerizing complexity inside of it! The tip has a wonderful clay inclusion which filled the once-skeletal growth of this crystal, and then was itself covered over by a layer of clear quartz deposition. Has to be seen in person to be appreciated...its a fine line between "internally interesting" and "busy and ugly," I admit, but this one is definitely on the more interesting side! NOTE THE SIZE....almost 6 inches long!
bb124 - Smoky Quartz (sceptred and hoppered) - ¥ 147059 Gobobos, Namibia cabinet, 14.6 x 11.6 x 7.3 cm ex. Charlie Key
A dramatic, complex, massive smoky quartz with glassy luster and a hint of amethyst on select faces of . This monster shows skeletal and hopper growth, and is much more dramatic in person. It is very 3-dimensional and complete all around!
