Quartz var Amethyst from Blue Points Mine, (formerly Diamond Willow Mine), Pearl, Near Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

I have another specimen from the same locale and the amethyst on that one is included with hematite, dramatically changing the appearance of the piece. I am impressed with the depth of color the amethyst displays. To me it comes close but not quite as dark as the amethyst from Uruguay. It displays a wonderful purple color with some minor hematite inclusion. All of the main xls are damage free displaying only some edge dings. Cool rock!
