Item Description

A fine miniature of something quite hard to get now: Massachusetts amethyst. The color is the best grape juice purple! These came out long ago (1980s?) in a small find during road construction. I have never even had one for sale. This is a bright cluster of tightly intergrown crystals with pretty, juicy, purple color. The large crystal on the end is doubly terminated. In fine shape, with only a bit of contacting on one end and the base. This glassy and excellent specimen displays well from either side. It is a rare, displayable, superb East Coast amethyst. Ex Schlichter Collection. Valued at $400-500
