Amethyst (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

Everybody is familiar with the beautiful and recognizable Amethyst specimens from Veracruz. These are some of the most examples of Amethyst in the world. This piece features a thin plate of matrix with a dusting of pistachio green Epidote hosting very sharp, highly lustrous, gemmy, purple and colorless prismatic hexagonal crystals of Amethyst measuring up to 2.0 cm. Excellent condition with only a few small nicks here and there. I really love the isolation between the crystals and the piece has good three-dimensional aesthetic appeal. Priced at $750. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#6727). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
