Amethyst Pinkish Purple Dusty Rose Purple Psm Barite Quartz Crystal Cluster Matrix Rocks and Minerals Mineral Specimen Alacam Mine Turkey
Looking for a medium-sized hand or shelf specimen from a cool, unique locality? This is amethyst from Alacam amethyst mine, Turkey! It has a distinctive dusty rose pinkish hue to its purple body tone. It features beautiful sharp small points of crystalline amethyst, which rise off of a curving and jagged matrix. The teeny points cover tiny stalactite growths, which are in excellent condition. The color is a unique shade of dusty rose, or pinkish-purple with a hint of smoke—these clusters take a pinkish tone due to hematite inclusions. The amethyst has replaced (pseudomorphed) the original barite structure, seen primarily on the base. This flat, plate-like cluster has an aesthetic curving shape that is ideal for holding or display! This super sparkly, softly shaded piece would be an excellent display specimen, and is also suitable for use during gridding or meditation. Locality: Alacam Amethyst Mine, Balikesir Province, Turkey. Dimensions: 3.25” x 2.75” x 1.00” (83mm x 70mm x 26mm)
