Quartz, var. Amethyst |
Specimen # | 100005 | |
Mineral: | Quartz, variety Amethyst | |
Location: | Piedra Parada, Mun de Tatatila, Veracruz, Mexico | |
Size: | 6.4 x 5.7 x 3.6 cm | |
Wonderful off-matrix cluster of pale amethyst crystals, with the central crystal nicely offset by the smaller ones. The main crystal (5.3 x 2.1 x 1.9 cm) is pristine and a good size for a transparent amethyst from this locality. The smaller crystals have a couple of extremely tiny nicks (under 1mm – you have to look for them). The true internal beauty in this piece is apparent when you carefully examine the large central crystal – it has excellent phantoms through multiple very finely articulated zones. Super piece.
