SOLD
An aesthetic and excellent diverging spray of lustrous tapered amethyst crystals to 5.8 cm with vivid purple color and colorless tips from the famous deposits at Amatitlan, Guerrero, Mexico. The specimen is in fine condition, as all of the major crystals and nearly all of the secondary crystals are pristine. This is very fine, old-time material from this locality and from the John Sinkankas Collection. According to his card, he purchased this piece in February, 1962. It is a classic exmaple of this material and a very aesthetic, divergent spray as well. Ex. Richard Hauck Quartz Collection, as well.
