Phantom Amethyst with Calcite (Consie Prince Coll.)

Item Description

This showy and excellent 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, which is nicely accented with a flattened calcite rhombs. Just a few of the pretty purple amethyst crystals are sheathed in lustrous, frosted quartz on the sides 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 water-clear quartz terminations. Fine material from this famous locale with trivial bruising and just a bit of periphery wear. Ex Consie Prince Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
