This a great matrix specimen of extremely rare character and quality for the region! It is extremely difficult to obtain these due to the hard rock where they are found. There is a beautiful contrast between the rich purple amethyst on the white and black matrix. The crystals, to 4.5 cm, sit smugly in the middle, as if in a canoe, of a shallow cavity lined with calcite. The middle crystal is loose, wiggling a little on the matrix, but held in tight place by the two flanking crystals and so is not in need of repair or fixing...its interesting, actually, I think. For overall aesthetics, size, and quality (the amethysts are pristine and complete all around save for a contact on the back side only), this is hard to beat!
