Quartz Amethyst

Dimensions: 5 x 5 x 7.5cm Locality: Piedra Parada, Tatatila, Veracruz, Mexico The crystals are beautifully arranged, all perfect, on their matrix. The piece has volume, and the quality of the crystals is among the best. A beautiful violet hue concentrated at the terminations, white bases: the contrast is very aesthetically pleasing, especially with the mirror-like luster of the faces. Piedra Parada is the best location in Veracruz for amethyst quartz, with its characteristic color due to iron and natural irradiation. A must-see for mineralogists, it now offers a great opportunity with this recent and exceptional discovery. Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen. The mineral is not glued to the base (flexible sealant).
