Guanajuato amethyst is not familiar to most collectors, especially compared to the much more common specimens from Brazil, Bolivia, etc. This large plate of crystals came out of the collection of Dave Stoudt. The crystals are extremely clear and glassy, and the coloration is very subtle and unique: nearly colorless, but with very subtle strips and blushes of purple color towards the tips of the crystals.
