Description

Heree we have a true rarity from Austria, Alpine amethyst from the Saurüssel in Tirol. This huge single crystal shows a weird growth habitus with several contact areas at the side to other crystals and a well developed tip which reveales the good pronounced purple colour. Partly it is even appearing yellow like citrin and also some smoky parts are present. Also the size of the crystal is amazing with over 10 cm.
