Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Quartz (Var.: Amethyst)
Locality: Anahí Mine (Anay Mine; Anai Mine), La Gaiba District, Sandoval Province, Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 30 x 22 x 15 cm.
This is a REALLY monstrous and surprisingly pristine amethyst plate from an important locality mined for specimens only in recent years, the Anahi mine high up in the Bolivian Andes. The largest crystals measure to 15 x 8 x 7 cm. While many good plates have come out, it is difficult to obtain specimens of this size that have both some aesthetics in 3-dimensions, and aren't beat to heck by the laborious trip out of the mine, down the mountains on mule, to the boats, and to the market here. This one was personally brought out by an American dealer who had the rights to an exclusive on the mine for a number of years, and controlled much of its specimen production therefore. Diligence was taken which was not always the case, under this supervision. Few plates of this shocking size, in good condition, can be had...this one particularly appealed to me for its 3-dimensionality as well as its condition!
