Amethyst with Goethite / Hematite

Amethyst with Goethite / HematiteDescription: Ive seen a good number of Amethyst specimens from the Rubeho Mountains, but this one is incredibly special for the simple fact that it has a notably elongated crystal aesthetically flaring off the smaller Amethyst crystals. Nearly all of the specimens Ive seen from this area feature small stubby Amethyst crystals, so a predominant crystal of notable length like this is almost never seen. Then you add in associated iron oxide in the form

Specimen # BOL711B70

Another outstanding feature is the wonderful color contrast between the vivid emerald green of the Vivianite and the altered red sandstone matrix
