From the quartz suite of the noted Richard Hauck Collection, a specimen of amethyst that is really outstanding for India, and actually pretty outstanding for anywhere. It is a knob of crystals that have grown radially out from a central point. The crystals have wonderful clarity, with a pretty purple blush to them and super-gemmy tips. What is really distinctive is the peppering of tiny balls of acicular mordenite crystals, which are embedded in the surface of the amethyst crystals.
