Description

This dimension is really outstanding for Thunder Bay Amethyste. And it is a complete, well shaped crystal - only bottom was on the rock. The edges are all sharp terminated and all faces are glossy. The crystal shows dark amethyste color with lot of dark red area, caused by hematite inclusions. A really exceptional piece from this famous locality.
