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. There are actually two generations of quartz on this piece, which is strikingly and richly accented with preferenetially deposited milky calcite rhombs. The pretty purple amethyst crystals are sheathed in water-clear, coloress quartz! Looking down onto the crystals gives a surreal phantom-like look, with the amethyst inside of the quartz terminations. Uncommonly fine material from this famous locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
