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, large matrix specimens are rather rare.

The specific specimen was found in a consecutive and very localized series of pockets several years ago. It features a couple of pink amethyst crystals, with exceptional glassy luster and transparency. The main crystals are over 2 cm across each and are laid on a carpet of hazel magnesite, along with groups of cream white nailhead calcite.

Great quality. From my personal collection.
