Phantom Amethyst with Calcite (Consie Prince Coll.)

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. The sharp, amethyst terminations on this striking, heart-shaped plate are composed of water-clear, coloress quartz! The sprinkling of lustrous, colorless, flattened, calcite rhombs is a super accent. Looking down onto the crystals gives a surreal phantom-like look, with the amethyst inside of the quartz. The amethyst faces are lightly frosted, adding additional character. The back of this two-sided plate is totally covered with bowtie-shaped clusters of calcite crystals as another serious bonus. This striking large piece is essentially pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. Fine material from this famous locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
