Quartz (Var: Ametrine), Quartz
Most specimens from this find rarely exhibit crystal faces, however, this piece is well-crystallized, by ametrine standards, showing a REAL termination instead of just numerous etched faces. This facet-grade specimen is primarily a rich amethyst color with a center stripe of citrine. In photos, the amethyst dominates more than in person, where the vivid citrine interior is easily visible as well. I know of no other worldwide deposit that displays these two colors of quartz in combination like this, and which cut absolutely beautiful bi-color stones of fairly large size. This gem rough weighs 279 grams. One of the best examples I have seen in some time, of this material which comes from only one mine in the high Andes! 12.8 x 5.4 x 4.9
