Item Description

This showy and excellent CABINET amethyst specimen from the La Sirena Mine at Guanajuato, Mexico is distinctively different, than most you see from any other locality. There are actually three generations of quartz on this piece. The pretty purple amethyst crystals are preferentially frosted with drusy quartz on one side of the crystals. The sharp, amethyst terminations are composed of water-clear, coloress quartz! Looking down onto the crystals gives a surreal phantom-like look, with the amethyst inside of the frosted quartz sides. Overall, this specimen is in excellent shape, with only modest periphery wear. Fine material from this famous locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
