Description

A superb, water-clear, transparent crystal with wonderful color zonings and highly lustrous faces. Inter-grown to the right hand side you can see a white, opac Quartz crystal - so you have this transparent Amethyste with a milky Quartz crystal attached to the side. A very unusual specimen from a more uncommon locality for Amethyste. Hard to photograph and much better in person.
