Quartz (Var: Amethyst)
Irai, Alto Uruguai region, Rio Grande do Sul, South Region, Brazil
Large Cabinet, 22.9 x 20.4 x 12.2 cm
SOLD
An unusual and fine Brazilian amethyst specimen: part purple amethyst, part colorless quartz in a starburst. The crystals are growing attractively towards a central point inside the pocket, and towards their terminations, the formerly milky quartz turns to a striking purple - as the solution inside the pocket changed to add the color, one supposes.
