What an elegant Las Vigas amethyst! Most are small crystals shooting up from matrix, or loose clusters of fatter crystals, but this particular piece strikes me for the geometry, and the aerial perch of the large doubly-terminated crystal right in the middle of the cluster. I think you could spend much more money for a much less interesting example from this locality, that doesn't stand out nearly as much from the crowd as this one. No damage to that large crossbar crystal!

Amethyst from Veracruz, Mexico
Veracruz amethyst is one of the few amethysts that serious collectors can often recognize at arm’s length. Its appeal is not based on the massive, dark geode architecture of Brazil or Uruguay, nor on the saturated, stout crystal groups of Guerrero. The classic Veracruz look is airy: slender, glassy quartz prisms, lilac to violet, often with the strongest purple gathered in the terminations, rising singly or in bouquets from a gray volcanic matrix dusted with smaller quartz and, in the best combinations, green epidote.
