9.5" Polished Chevron Amethyst Stand-up - Morocco

This is an exceptionally beautiful section of deep purple amethyst, known as chevron amethyst. One side has been polished to a glossy finish and the base is cut flat to stand unassisted. The sides and back are left rough and there appears to be some metallic inclusions in the display which could be pyrite.

Chevron amethyst, also frequently marketed under the names dream amethyst or banded amethyst is a combination of amethyst and white quartz in a banded and often v-shaped pattern. It is found in large veins in rock (not individual amethyst crystals) and often tumbled or polished.
