MR79E9: Quartz (variety amethyst) with Epidote

These were one of the most attractive novelties at the 2004 Munich Show. This large one has perfect crystals and excellent color, with the groups of Epidote that have formed on many of the crystals of Quartz amethyst. The really amazing things are the inclusions within the crystals that include a first generation of intensely red amethyst and small crystals of really strange forms of black Hematite.
The specimen has been published in the book 'China', by Berthold Ottens, on page 513

Group of sharp Quartz crystals (amethyst variety) on matrix, with one of them clearly dominant. Brilliant and with the nucleus of the crystal displaying much more intense color than in the periphery.

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.
