Item Description
An outstanding CABINET example of classic Creede amethyst. Juicy, tranlucent, rich grape-purple amethyst points are banded with white quartz. A dusting of white quartz on the amethyst points looks like snow. This is actually an amethyst vein section from one of the area mines. Large specimens of this quality, richness and color are very uncommon from this noted locale. Older material. Ex Peru State College (Nebraska) and Dr. Mark Feinglos Collections. Dr. Feinglos is a world-class rarities collector. Valued at $750-900 for size, quality and rarity.
