Item Description

High quality amethyst and calcite combinations are very rare from the famous deposits at Las Vigas, as well-formed calcite crystals are RARE from here. Beautiful, gem, blush-purple, sharply terminated amethyst crystals (some doubly terminated), to 2.3 cm, are dramatically scattered on the sculptural brecciated platy matrix accented with striking sparkly oxide-tinted dogtooth calcite crystals to 3.3 cm. Every turn presents a distinctively different perspective to to this exceptional and rare combination. Fairly valued at $300-400 for calcite rarity and overall quality.
