Description

A 7.3 cm long single floater crystal of the rare quartz variety "Ametrine", which is a mixture of Amethyst and Citrine in a single crystal.  The crystal has many, many superb growth faces all around in a very unusual pattern.  The purple and yellow color zones are quite distinct and it is very obvious that the crystal is very clear and gemmy as seen through the gemmy window faces on the crystal.  I acquired this beauty in 1988, so it was mined over 30 years ago.  I've not seen many of these natural Ametrine crystals over the years as most are cut for gemstones.
