I saved my best for last here, as this small cabinet piece has quite the composition! Truly a feast for the eyes with the contrast of three larger Quartz var. Amethyst crystals, and dozens of smaller clear Quartz crystals sharing the matrix. The covering of vibrant green Epidote sets it off beautifully! As you can see in one of the close up pictures that I took, several of the smaller Quartz crystals are formed into perfectly tiny sparkling bouquets, scattered throughout the top of the Epidote. This is one very gorgeous specimen!
