Item Description

Beautiful radial "flowers" of purple to very soft lilac Amethyst from Brazil. This beautiful and unique formation was actually lifted from the copper-rich matrix, leaving an area of green on the back side. There are hundreds of tightly intergrown crystals here, with delicate transitions of purple to lilac. The luster really stands out, and most of the crystals are actually very well-formed with fine terminations upon close inspection. These are some of the most eye-catching and iconic Amethyst specimens in the world, and every good Quartz collection needs one, no to mention every Brazilian suite or just general worldwide minerals.
