Amethyst from Las Vigas de Ramírez Municipality, Veracruz, Mexico

In the last couple years amethyst from Mexico had gained notoriety in the mineral world; for those who are creating a collection of international character or one of minerals from México, amethyst is a very attractive option and even more coming from one of the countries with an old mining tradition apart of course of being a geme that has been appreciated for centuries because of its beauty.

This piece in particular offers something else, over the amethyst surface a family of analcime crystals grew, a very uncommon association for this locality giving it an extra touch to a classic piece!
