Veracruz Amethyst from Las Vigas de Ramirez, Mexico

Veracruz amethyst forms in cavities and fractures within volcanic rock in the mountainous highlands of central Veracruz.  Compared with amethyst that develops as dense geode linings, Veracruz material commonly forms as slender prismatic crystals growing outward from matrix while the stronger purple coloration toward several terminations reflects the zoning often seen in this material.
