Item Description
Amethyst specimens from the 1980s find at this locale are an East Coast treasure. This is a glassy, sharply terminated crystal with rich blush purple color. The amethyst is quite gemmy. The termination has a very trivial bruise and the contacting on the sides are mostly out-of-sight. First discovered in 1981 and worked for approximately 10 years, this deposit yielded between 500 to 600 single scepter crystals and 35 crystal groups according to Volume 26, No. 2 of the Mineralogical Record (1995). A very highly representative and classic example of this find and locale. BETTER IN PERSON!
