This is an old-time Mexican amethyst cluster from Guanajuato. This is a knob of crystals, complete all the way around, and sliced off flat on the bottom from the matrix. Accompanied by an old Burminco label - and this piece of very recent sad news: "Dec 6, 2008 ... George Burnham, founder and owner of the Burminco rock and mineral company, died Nov. 28 at the age of 94".
