Quartz, var. Amethyst

Specimen # 201025
Mineral: Quartz, var. Amethyst
Location: Near Frederico Westphalen, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Size: 10.3 x 7.8 x 4.5 cm

Description

This piece features slender, delicate pale lavender amethyst crystals rising up from a plate of smaller jumbled crystals. These amethyst crystals are quite curious and complex, under magnification – each  exhibiting the faces of more than one individual. They appear intergrown, almost as if twinned (although there is no twinning law to account for it – they are certainly not twinned, rather, some type of parallel growth). In excellent condition, no damage. A beautiful specimen from the John S. White collection.
