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 luster 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.
