Most examples of this material are considerably smaller, and most pieces are very often polished to improve clarity and conceal mining damage. What makes this specimen so unusual is that it has survived at this size completely natural, with no polishing and free of damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crystal has a long, narrow form that gradually tapers toward the base, while the upper section opens into deep violet amethyst with excellent translucency and bands of chevron smoky phantoms beneath. The termination remains sharply defined, with natural surface growth and subtle textural detail across the faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts proportions are especially dramatic in hand. The combination of extreme length, relatively slender width and intact natural form gives the crystal a presence that smaller dragon’s tooth material simply does not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this variety, finding an example of this scale is unusual enough. Finding one that remains natural, complete and visually strong throughout the full length is considerably rarer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Liminal Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52790295560324,"sku":"C-27","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/1815\/4628\/files\/BBC897C7-D235-465E-BD31-DD571941EEB3.jpg?v=1789090431","url":"https:\/\/www.theliminalstone.com\/products\/amethyst-1","provider":"The Liminal Stone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
