Description

Capurru quarry is a famous locality in Sardinia, and it has produced a number of great amethysts across the years. While the specie is not rare at the quarry, deep purple crystals such as the current specimen's are rather rare.
The specific specimen was found in a consecutive and very localized series of pockets in the mid 90s. It features dark amethyst crystals, with exceptional glassy luster and transparency. The two main crystals are over 1 cm across each.
An exceptional miniature of rare quality.
