A very pretty example of the gemmy amethyst discovered in Georgia recently that has caused quite a stir, due to the pretty purple blush in the crystal exteriors (rather than the rather boring uniform purple of, say, common Brazilian amethyst). Plus, any new American amethyst find is rather exciting! This stuff is NOT cheap!! Normal contacts around ther periphery. 6.6 x 6.1 x 4.3cm
