This well-trimmed, balanced matrix hosts a 4.7 x 2.1 x 2 cm crystal of radiantly purple amethyst. It is more uniformaly purple, more fat, and more glassy in lustre than most material from this locality and to me is a very special quality because of this combination of superlatives. It is razor-sharp, without a ding on it, and pretty much glows in a showcase. For the size, I'd rate it as one of the best matrix examples of this famous locality I have seen. Bob Whitmore obtained it in exchange some years ago.

Like a flame leaping off its campfire in blowing wind, this dramatic 5-cm-long cluster of gold crystals seems to bend and blow over to the right, looking as if it is really about to move. It is a very visual specimen, not your usual basic "gold" lump on a rock. The gold is composed of intricately interlocking crystals in a variety of habits. It is complete on BOTH sides although more gold shows at the bottom portion, from the front. The back is freestanding, though, and clean.
