Item Description

Tocantins State is well-known for outstanding zircon crystals and large almandine garnet crystals. Hematite-included amethyst specimens are RARE and this impressive large specimen is from a very obcure locale. Rust-red hematite is richly included in the sharply terminated amethyst crystals, that rest on the massive quartz matrix. Rare and showy material from the Matioli Collection.
