A small cabinet sized plate of small greenish Calcite crystals is the matrix for a complex array of doubly terminated Amethyst. The Quartz is in perfect condition, very lustrous and fully transparent, it makes a great contrast with the vivid purple on green. This has a flowerlike look in person, Some of the crystals are sceptered and reverse sceptered. Good magnification also show some slender red inclusions that may be hematite or another mineral. Pretty and unusual a very nice example from this moist inusual locality at Karur in Southern India.
