Quartz (Var: Amethyst)

An aesthetic floater cluster of glassy, purple amethyst crystals from a classic North Carolina locality - Iredell County. This very fine doubly terminated example has the typical beautiful color and crystal form of Southern Appalachian amethysts. The crystals are translucent to transparent. The back is contacted, but has no damage, per se, has super-interesting, stepped-growth faces and has two, small embedded quartz crystals. This old-time specimen is very nearly pristine, with only super trivial termination wear on one end. Ex. Don Boydston Collection.
