Description

Group of double terminated alpine type amethyst crystals on gray quartz matrix.

Amethyst crystals are very shiny and transparent with nice uniform color.

Many inclusions of hematite (red string form) in the amethyst. The amethyst group has 4 small dings visible only with close inspection.To my opinion they doesn't lower the aesthetics and beauty of the specimen.
