"Amethystine" Quartz (ex Dr. Miguel Romero Collection)

Item Description

A single, razor sharp, highly lustrous, WATER CLEAR, pale lilac, "Amethystine" Quartz crystal from an undisclosed location in Minas Gerais, Brazil. There is a tiny prop glued to the base of the crystal to allow it to stand as displayed. The underside of the crystal is not completely crystallized, but the termination and prism faces are in good shape, with only minor roughness. The piece is just a jewel, and rarely does one see such fine quality Quartz from any locality like this, especially with a bit of color. From the collection of Senator / Dr. Miguel Romero of Teohuacan, Mexico (Collection #4771).
