Quartz (Var: Amethyst)

Indian amethyst, which is of course far rarer than from the more well-known amethyst localities such as Brazil, Brandberg and Bolivia, has this incredibly intense gemminess about it. It is also usually found in isolated clusters on this dark matrix, in this case with little milky calcites, which makes the crystals really jump out at you as they do not in specimens from other localities where they are massed together wall-to-wall with no isolation. These beautiful crystals are arranged in a band right up the middle of the matrix.
