Pink Amethyst Geode w Gemmy Double Terminated Crystals 172g
Specializing in the highest quality Pink Amethyst Crystal Geodes available. Always 100% natural, never treated. This is an excellent example of a beautiful, well balanced, quality, Pink Amethyst Crystals Geode specimen with darker pink color. 3.17" x 2.68" x 1.83" or 80.5mm x 68.2mm x 46.7mm. Deeper in the pocket and perched on top of the larger primary crystals are small, gemmy, double terminated secondary growth crystals. Some of the double terminated crystals, beautifully transparent, are amidst clusters and less common "bridge" assemblages. Luster on the faces of the crystals varies from matte to satin to shiny with the double terminated crystals exhibiting the brightest shine. The darker color crystals are representative of a higher quality piece. ^^***See notes about color and formation below.
172 grams. 3.17" x 2.68" x 1.83" or 80.5mm x 68.2mm x 46.7mm
^^^^^ This is a high grade Pink Amethyst Geode specimen from Patagonia, Argentina, not the lower grade cut variety from southern Brazil with little crystalline defined formation that is sometimes reconstituted or reconstructed and treated with plastics, dyes, or resins.
*** Please note the size listed of the crystal geode before purchasing and know that High Quality Pink Amethyst Crystal Geode specimens are typically smaller in size than amethyst of the purple variety. Sizes of Pink Amethyst Crystal Geode mineral specimens are classified in the following way:
Pink Amethyst Crystal Geode Minerals Sorted By Size:
Thumbnail-Sized Specimens
Centimeters: 0.2 to 3cm
Inches: 1/16” to 1-1/8”
Miniature-Sized Specimens
Centimeters: 3 to 6cm
Inches: 1-1/8” to 2-1/2”
Cabinet-Sized Specimens
Centimeters: 6 to 10cm
Inches: 2-1/2” to 4”
While there may be a few extraordinary exceptions, rarely do High Quality Pink Amethyst Crystal Geode Specimens occur larger than 4 inches. We are fortunate to have a reputable contact direct with the mines in Argentina to receive the Highest Quality Pink Amethyst Crystal Geodes and seek the larger sized specimens whenever they are available and note that they are “larger” in our listings. We consider a Pink Amethyst Crystal Geode over 3 inches in size as presenting on the larger side of how they naturally occur in nature. Please purchase with confidence that you are buying from reputable sellers that place a high priority on transparency and integrity. Thank you.
Color
As documented by many peer reviewed studies and publications, including The Mineralogical Record, not only is it valid and appropriate to call this species "pink amethyst", the darker the Pink Amethyst crystals, the more they are considered by many mineral specimen collectors, and the miners that find them, as higher in quality. Though color is of higher regard, it does not solely define the grade or quality of each specimen as a whole. With that stated, we feel that when giving description with accuracy, the description of Pink Amethyst specimens must reference the possible variable color or intensities of pink hues that may be present; pink, pale lilac-pink, zoned peachy-pink, mauve-pink, deep dark pink, and even an almost red-pink. Varying levels of Hematite result in the presenting of varying intensities of pink color in Pink Amethyst.
Crystal Formation - The condition of the facets, faces and terminations (tips / points) of the crystals is also is a very important factor when determining the overall quality of any Pink Amethyst Geode Crystals specimen. The clarity and characteristics of the crystals is another major consideration when determining quality too. The presence of formations like double terminated crystals, rosettes and bridge structures are also representative of higher grade specimens.
