16.3 x 7.3 x 2.7 cm. A group of radial "flowers" of purple to very soft lilac amethyst from Brazil. This beautiful and unique formation was removed from the underlying matrix but still retains deep green celadonite near the centers of the "flowers". There are dozens of tightly intergrown crystals here, with delicate transitions of purple to nearly colorless. The luster stands out, and most of the crystals are actually very well-formed with fine terminations upon close inspection.
