Amethyst Points

Amethyst points from Brazil exhibiting the well known crystal point (tip) of many quartz family minerals. These specimens are roughly 1 to 2 inches in length and show a pale purple colour fading to white towards the bottom of the points, the tips of the crystal show the trigonal crystal habit expected of this mineral. Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz whose colour is a result of irradiation, iron impurities and trace elements which present when the mineral was forming. These mineral specimens were collected in Brazil and will come supplied in a 1.5" x 1.5" white card tray with a label, an ideal gift item or to add to a collection.
