Item Description

This piece was labeled as coming from "Camp Encore", which is close to the actual Saltman Amethyst locality, near Sweden, Maine. These specimens are some of the most attractive Amethysts from any US locality for their beautiful color and contrasting underlying white Quartz matrix. This piece hosts many excellent, razor-sharp, highly lustrous, beautiful purple colored hexagonal crystals of Amethyst measuring up to 1.8 cm, sitting on a layer of crystallized white Quartz. The majority of the Amethyst crystals are in very good condition and look beautiful when backlit, as the color really glows. You can actually see a small amount of "phantom" color zoning inside the Amethyst crystals as well. A very attractive piece of these wonderful Amethyst specimens. From the collection of Gerry Morvell.
