Quartz (Var: Amethyst), Quartz
Glassy, gemmy "flowers" of quartz crystals, the larger of which are amethyst. Much of the matrix has epidote on it, which contrasts nicely with the amethyst. There are tiny red (hematite?) blebs, most noticeably in the center of the piece that look nice on the glassy crystals. Unusually for the locale, it is almost colorless rather than purple in the cores; quite different than the norm. Hence the title of the piece as amethyst on quartz; only the few larger points have any color, and they show starkly against the smaller clear crystals below.
