Description

Amethyst Crystal Cluster — Iron-Stained Quartz Matrix Specimen

A natural amethyst cluster rising from a densely packed matrix of iron-oxide-stained quartz points in rich amber and burnt orange. The amethyst crystals range from saturated deep violet at the cores to pale lavender at the terminations, many exhibiting strong transparency and well-defined rhombohedral faces.

A secondary generation of clear to smoky quartz fills the lower matrix register, creating a layered, three-dimensional composition that rewards viewing from any angle. The underside host rock shows green and teal mineral inclusions consistent with chlorite or epidote, signaling authentic, unworked field extraction.


CONDITION

Very Good. Crystals are intact with strong luster and no visible repairs.
