Item Description

Classic rich royal-purple amethyst crystals with colorless tips, to 9 cm in length, makes this a very displayable CABINET sized amethyst cluster from one of the two famous Mexican locales. Color like this, and size like this, has not been seen in over a decade from this mining district. It stands as a unique style amidst all the amethyst from all over the world, instantly recognizable to the collector for these elegant, elongated crystals with purple shading to colorless tips. This specimen is in excellent condition given the size, with only trivial termination wear and some peripheral damage, mostly to the back side, and that relatively minor. The major crystals, as you see, are quite complete and 3-dimensional. A fine 360-degree specimen with multiple display possibilities. Valued at $1000 or more for impact and rich color. Old classic material!
