TB7B6: Quartz (variety amethyst)
Sharp crystal with a deep color on a small matrix of Epidote, but the highlight of this specimen are the series of phantoms close to the top of the specimen. It is as good as it looks (or maybe even better)
Piedra Parada (Las Vigas), Municipio Tatatila, Veracruz (Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave)  Mexico
Specimen size: 6 × 3 cm = 2.36” × 1.18”
.
RC99P8: Quartz (variety amethyst)
Probably this is one of the first amethyst samples from Las Vigas because the original label indicates that it was acquired in Tucson in 1968 and (erroneously) 'Guerrero' as the locality. It is a very aerial group of crystals, some of them doubly terminated, with a very well marked color zoning. Luster and transparency are excellent.

Specimen size: 7 × 5.5 × 6.5 cm = 2.76” × 2.17” × 2.56”
.
TF30L3: Quartz (variety amethyst) "phantom"
From a locality not yet well known by mineral collectors, the crystal presents a very curious flattened morphology, where two parallel prism faces have virtually disappeared. We would like to call your attention on the extraordinary transparency and the attractive distribution of intense violet cloudy forms inside the specimen.
The specimen has been reviewed, photographed and published as a new discovery in the magazine ‘Mineral Up’ on page 22 in number 2008/2
Antanimbaribe (Antany- Ambaribe), Vakinankaratra Region  Madagascar (2007)
Specimen size: 8.5 × 1.9 × 1.1 cm = 3.35” × 0.75” × 0.43”
.
TP27L1: Quartz (variety amethyst) "phantom"
Very sharp and brilliant Amethyst crystal. Specimen shows nice and well defined color zonations that are inside the known “phantom” growths. The terminal rhombohedra faces present the beginning of “window” growths.
Gobobos Volcano, Gobobosebberge  Namibia
Specimen size: 7.6 × 2.3 × 1.8 cm = 2.99” × 0.91” × 0.71”
.
NA14M0: Quartz (variety amethyst) "scepter" with smoky Quartz and Albite
Very sharp scepter with the classical multiple double terminations, short prism and irregular color zoning. On a Quartz crystal partially covered by Albite. A specimen with much better quality than it is usual for this locality.

TP50I8: Quartz (variety amethyst) and Calcite
An extraordinary formation of amethyst crystals that covers completely a scalenohedral crystal of Calcite, preserving its original form. Color and luster are magnificent. It is from the classic zone of Artigas, actually worked by experienced mineralogists, so the samples found are especially interesting.
Catalán Grande Quarry, Catalán Grande area, Artigas Department  Uruguay (11/2006)
Specimen size: 12.3 × 9.9 × 7 cm = 4.84” × 3.90” × 2.76”

Main crystal size: 0.5 × 0.5 cm = 0.20” × 0.20”
.
TD13J5: Quartz (variety amethyst) and Epidote
Magnificent crystal, very well defined and bright with an esthetic graded change of color clearer at the base and deeper on the termination with zoning. An important aspect is that it is on matrix, which is very rare with samples from this region. Even it had (badly) been popularized as Brandberg, the true locality is Gobobos, another nearest volcano.
The specimen is from the Charlie Key collection.
