Mined high in the rugged terrain of the Hindu Kush mountains, this locale produced very little material before operations ceased in 2015. These unique Phantom Amethyst crystals come from the now-closed Bamyan Mine in Afghanistan, making them exceptionally rare and increasingly sought after by collectors, with limited availability of authentic specimens. What sets this material apart is its striking phantom-like inclusion, naturally formed by zoning during crystal growth. This internal pattern -a pale to deep lavender Amethyst with a shadowy single or double hourglass at its core - is not an enhancement but a rare geological occurrence, visible with light or backlighting. These specimens have single and double terminations, a variety of inclusions, keyholes, scepter formations and other natural characteristics.
This listing is for ONE (1) intuitively chosen crystal. Each piece has been handpicked and examined for quality. The photography used is a representation of our collection, the unique specimen you receive will be similar to the stones pictured and will have its own individual traits. Specimens categorized by weight don’t have specific size measurements provided, as each piece has a different shape and mass.
