An extremely unusual and ornate specimen of amethyst from a very unusual amethyst locality. There are three main crystals here whose growth patterns are absolutely bizarre, and difficult to describe. The crystals have projections and shelves, and smaller crystals just out of the sides of the larger ones. The color is a very light pastel lavender. Small crystals of both colorless and amethystine quartz surround the large crystals in little bursts. The big crystals measure to 6 cm. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
