A very large and striking specimen of Guerrero amethyst. The largest crystal stretches a full 9 cm. The crystals have the wonderful silky luster and subtle purple color zones that make these specimens highly prized. This was probably mined in the late 1960s or 1970s. Ex. Richard Hauck and John Sinkankas Collections.
