A very clear and transparent Quartz crystal with two distinct phantoms, one Amethyst and the other dark Smoky. There is a light purple cast to the crystal below the Amethyst phantom. In this same area of the crystal, there are quite a few small vesicles which could be either filled with liquid or air - it is not possible to tell. There are also small reddish colored inclusions of Hematite in these same areas. The sides of the crystal are smooth with a high luster. Three small crystals are on the surface of one side near the bottom of the crystal.

Condition: Good

Flaws: There is some chipping near the two cast areas. Also, there is an internal conchoidal cleave near the center of the crystal.
