Interesting shape of quartz pseudo after anhydrite? or else?

And, in a recess, a small scepter with a tiny light purple crystals (of what?).

It looks to me like amethyst and quartz crystals of a different generation on each end of the amethyst. Don't know why you think it is a pseudomorph?

Pseudo refers to the two previous pics not to the third one.
