This exquisite matrix plate of many color-zoned, lustrous and gemmy amethyst crystals features some of the most intensely purple crystal tips that I have seen from the various finds! There is a lot of variety because they are found in small pockets scattered over pretty rough terrain, and over many years of digging there. The largest crystal measures 3.0 cm in length, a pretty good size. This specimen is indicative of the quality that used to come out of this deposit but alas, today, no longer does! This COLOR, and the sheer glowing contrast of the purple tips on white bases, and the size of the plate....the piece just has awesome presence!
