Classic, vibrant, purple-tipped Amethyst crystals (reaching 2.5 cm in length) rise gracefully from a bed of small colourless needle-Quartz crystals. Veracruz is one of the world's most famous Amethyst-producing localities - not for sheer size, but for the aesthetic qualities of its specimens. This small cabinet specimen (or very large miniature) is great value for what it presents. It can be displayed at a number of different angles and looks really lovely with the Amethyst crystals displaying zonation from white at their base, up to purple at the tips.
