RC86V0: Quartz (variety amethyst) with Quartz and Epidote

Group on matrix of transparent crystals with good size, color and luster. With color zoning, more concentrated on the terminations. Surely one of the first known samples from Las Vigas, as the old label of Lidstrom’s indicates. It reflects the uncertainty of the locality at the time because the original label says “Guerrero” , with a later correction of Folch, that locates the sample properly in Veracruz. We’ll send the Lidstrom's label to the buyer of the specimen.
