Highlighted by a stout, glassy and gemmy, rich purple amethyst crystal, measuring 4.1 cm in length, this cluster is representative of the best color and clarity of the these classic Mexican amethyst crystals. t is just a particularly fine example in the size class, as a small miniature, and really slightly different in style from modern production here. The crystals stand straight up , instead of the usual zigs and zags of most such specimens.

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.
