Item Description

Some of the finest quality and diverse Quartz specimens in the world come from Brazil. This specimen is a very good quality Quartz specimen from recent finds at the relatively less common Brazilian locale in Espirito Santo, not Minas Gerais. It has a vibrant rich purple Amethyst termination and light Smoky Quartz hue throughout the rest of the piece. The piece has good luster and gemminess to boot, and is included with minor iron oxide "fibers" (probably Hematite or Goethite).
