Amethyst Crystal Cluster with Pyrite & Epidote/Chlorite — Namibia — 247 g

A richly textured Namibian amethyst cluster with violet-purple crystals partly covered by extensive olive-green mineral growth. Exposed glassy faces contrast with the finely granular coatings, while pyrite intergrown within the matrix adds further mineral interest.

The green coatings are a defining feature of this specimen, spreading across much of the display face while leaving purple crystal edges and reflective faces exposed. Side views show the depth of the cluster and a contrasting pale band through the underlying material.

The associated green material is recorded as Epidote and/or Chlorite. Pyrite is intergrown within the matrix, as confirmed by the owner; individual dark surface specks are not all assigned to Pyrite. This combination gives the specimen contrasting colours, textures and reflective detail.

Collector notes
