Description

Alpine Amethyste is generally rare, but even more exceptional from this very uncommon locality at Binn Valley. At the base it is more colourless, and you can see a concentration of amethyste colour at the top. The faces are multiple stepped and partly glossy. A view contacts are present, but still a very nice sample from the locality.
