Quartz var. Amethyst
Jacksons Crossroads, Wilkes Co., Georgia, United States
miniature – 4.2 x 4.2 x 2.7 cm
Collected by Shawn Willett, January 3, 2007 A superb complete floater single cyrstal, with top color, sharpness, and luster for the locality, including the red-flashes which are the signature of the locality. Spotted in Terry Ledford's room at Tucson 2007, and I could not resist. This specimen has continued to grow on me since. - ----- Photos ©2007 Richard Geiger
