Item Description
Some of the finest Eastern USA amethysts have come from the Reel Mine and this is a significant and impressive large example. Reel Mine amethyst and amethyst/smoky quartz specimens are an uncommon and highly desirable North Carolina classic. This striking, sculptural large piece is composed of densely intergrown glassy, lustrous, translucent to transparent, variable blush purple amethyst crystals nicely accented with an earlier generation of smaller smoky quartz crystals. The dominating large central compound crystal is 6.0 cm tall. Overall the specimen is in superlative condition, with only barely noticeable periphery wear on the right side. See the 1990 Mineralogical Record article in Vol. 21, No. 3. Ex Richard Rossi Collection. Richard is a Senior Fellow of the Mineralogical Record. An important large amethyst and smoky quartz combination from the Reel Mine. Mass is 4668 grams or 10.3 pounds.
