Description

More usual from this district are marvelous zeolite minerals from the basalt cavities, but amethyst I haven't seen that often. Must be from some local, less popular quarry. 

The specimen is a part of a geode of thin hollow chalcedony stalactites, that were overgrown by a thick layer of well terminated pale purple amethyst crystals in the final stage of mineralization. The amethyst stalactites measure up tp 5 cm in height.

A fine palm-sized decorative specimen.
