Description

An elongated amethyst cluster with closely packed purple crystals and pale quartz along its margins. Dark speckling and small patches of green mineral detail contrast with bright, glassy faces.

The recorded mineral association is Amethyst with Epidote/Chlorite and Pyrite. Textured coatings and exposed quartz faces give contrasting surface detail as the specimen is viewed from different angles.

Its elongated shape carries the eye along a succession of crystal faces, rather than towards one isolated point. Pale quartz at the margins provides a quieter frame for the deeper purple growth, while the small green areas interrupt the otherwise glassy surface.

This combination of a narrow outline, close crystal packing and contrasting surface detail gives the cluster its character. The supplied Epidote/Chlorite and Pyrite association is retained without identifying every dark speck from appearance alone.
