Veracruz Amethyst Set x4
This charming set of four Veracruz Amethyst has been carefully selected to compliment each other . They all have muzzo habit and taper to the point, and display fine horizontal striations in the sides, much like Lemurian quartz. They each have beautiful violet purple hues within and excellent clarity. There are some red hematite dots within at least two, and one has sunken etchings on a face. There may be a sunken record keeper amongst the cluster, but they are merged together so hard to be certain. There are purple phantoms within at least one quartz. Each quartz is just under 4cm long.
Veracruz Amethyst is from a mountainous area near Las Vigas, in Veracruz state, Mexico. It is considered to be one of the finest amethyst in the world. It is mined as a family business, using hand tools, and wheelbarrows. The side of the mountain has several openings going into short horizontal tunnels.
