Amethyst (ex Gary Weaver Collection)

Item Description

A beautiful association piece featuring dozens of sharp, lustrous, gemmy, light purple colored hexagonal prisms of Amethyst measuring up to 1.0 cm with white Calcite on black Sphalerite matrix, along with minor spots of brassy Chalcopyrite and white Quartz mixed in. The piece is very good condition all around and looks wonderful up close. From the collection of Gary Weaver of Prescott, Arizona (1944-2019). Gary was an electrical engineer who worked for many years for Hughes Aircraft in California. After retiring to Prescott, Arizona in the early 2000s, Gary rekindled his childhood love of minerals, amassing a collection of roughly 2000 specimens focusing on localities in which he and his wife had lived or visited (Mexico, Peru and the western / southwestern United States).
