Item Description
This unusual, dark, and grape-jelly colored amethyst specimen is very choice material Mexico, and comes from finds at this smaller and less famous locality for Mexican amethyst, that date mostly to the 1970s. (A bit before my time - we had to consult with Dr. Peter Megaw for locality confirmation of the museum label "Durango" and he suggested they probably bought it themselves on a trip to Mapimi in the 1980s). Donated by Richard and Helen Rice at the founding of the museum, this comes with an exhibition label from the display cases. This is a 3-dimensional, gorgeous cluster of crystals coating a knob of matrix. The color is wonderful, and not too dark nor too light. Rare material!
