This is a spectacular and large North Carolina specimen - a huge compound crystal intergrown with a second crystal, on a thin sheet of matrix. The compound crystal is complete all around and doubly-terminated, with multiple terminations on one end. The crystal intergrown with it is also complete and undamaged (it has only one termination - the other side has grown against the larger crystal) and is incredibly gemmy. For size, condition, completeness and overall aesthetics, you could hardly do better than this for a North Carolina amethyst. Ex. Feist Collection.
