Smoky Amethyst Raw Crystal Points (0.50-1.50 Inch - A Grade - 48-96 Pieces Per Pound) Ethically Sourced from Zimbabwe

These crystals are exceptionally unique, featuring various formations such as singular points, scepter shapes, cascading mini clusters, double terminations, and elestial features. They closely resemble our AA grade smoky amethyst but have slightly more imperfections like mineral deposits and minor chips. Notably, they often exhibit enhydros (water bubbles) and phantoms, especially when ordered in large quantities. Discovered in 2018, the crystals have a dark coloration and contain various minerals, particularly thin strands of lepidocrocite. Some lean towards amethyst appearance, while others have a smoky look, but most strike a nice balance between the two. Despite a few mineral deposits, these crystals are of high quality, akin to Brandberg specimens, making them a rare and ideal choice for serious crystal collectors or jewelry makers seeking distinctive pieces.
