Description

Rare combination from this old mining district.

A combination of 3 minerals. A cluster of very nicely shaped quartz crystals with the most odd color. It´s color seens to be a combination between amethyst and smokey quartz, a rare color. You can see it´s brown but also it´s purple but still a mix between these two.

the shape of the crystals shows simulairities with the guerrero amethyst mexico, but it´s combination with green malachite along the base of the crystals is typical for the Zacatecas region. The biggestquartz crystals is partly covert in white chalcedony with a sparkling and silky look to it.

All in all a rare piece from this old location
