Amethysts are quartz minerals that get their unique purple color from elemental iron. Examples from Georgia are prized by collectors for their unique, equant crystal shape; short and thick rather than long and thin (such as examples from Veracruz, Mexico). This exceptional specimen is a work of natural art, resembling a blossoming flower of brilliantly lustrous, sharply-edged, prismatic crystals radiating from a center point and evenly saturated with deep purple coloration. These gem-like crystals sit on a white quartz matrix, creating a remarkable juxtaposition of color and texture, making the specimen even more stunning and artistic.
