1.45" Amethyst on Matrix - Las Vigas, Mexico

This is a beautiful group of amethyst crystals on matrix from Las Vigas, Mexico. The crystals are in great shape and some have crisp, distinctly zoned phantoms. Amethyst from this region is prized for its violet color.

Las Vigas amethyst crystals are found in several locations around the Piedra Parada village within Veracruz, Mexico. The crystals are contained inside solid vesicles within various andesite rock formations throughout the mountainous region. Several mines operate throughout the andesitic rock formations, including La Cascada, La Callejones, El Bordo, La Flor, Ensenal, Los Volcanes, Torrecellas, La Mina Grande, and La Loma. These mines are worked by the owners of the land and the villagers of the region, making up the majority of their income. Most of these mines are only accessible through old hiking trails.
