Item Description
Striking and beautiful matrix amethyst from Piedra Parada (Las Vigas). An artistic 6.5 cm cluster of gem, blush-purple amethyst crystals is aesthetically set on the sculptural blocky matrix. The amethyst points reach 3.0 cm and the andesite matrix is dramatically accented with tiny, sparkly contrasting olive-green Epidote crystals, a common accessory. The label with the piece lists "Early Diggings", meaning the 1970s, when the locality was known as Las Vigas. See the 2003 Mineralogical Record article in Mexico Special Issue III, Vol. 34, No. 6. Classic and exquisite small cabinet matrix amethyst with epidote from Las Vigas.
