Striking "smokestacks" of sugary, etched, ivory-colored calcite prisms are set on the impressive, sculptural large layered specimen of amethyst with calcite from one of the famous silver mines at historic Guanajuato. The glassy amethyst points have pretty and unusual layering, from purple to colorless. The dominating smokestacks are up to 6.5 cm tall. The thin amethyst matrix plate is totally covered with the sugary calcite on the bottom. A most fascinating and surreal 360-degree amethyst and calcite from Guanajuato.
