Description
This is a really exceptional cluster of parallel intergrown Amethyst crystals to 5.4 cm. The specimen is translucent with a great violet color and a gemmy, vitreous luster. A top quality floater crystal, pristine and perfect. One termination, let’s call it the top has excellent single terminations, while the opposite end has several “frayed” individual terminations. A great piece from a locality that, according to mindat.org has established its name in the mineral collecting world as the source of highly aesthetic Amethyst crystals. However, this is NOT correct and the true source of the crystals are the several mines around the Piedra Parada village, Municipality de Tatatila to the east of Las Vigas.
