Amethyst Cluster With Iron Oxide ‘Vein’ - Southern Brazil

Formed within volcanic cavities of southern Brazil, this cabinet sized specimen exhibits a cluster of well-terminated amethyst crystals, displaying an exceptional light purple colouration along with a unique red ‘veining’ as a result of iron oxide staining.

The crystals possess strong overall clarity and a bright vitreous lustre, allowing light to reflect sharply across their natural facets. The varying sizes of each of these facets produce a pronounced sparkle as light interacts with the surface.
Overall a stunning example of high-quality Brazilian amethyst with some beautiful character, perfect for cabinet display.
