Comment: From the collection of Marty Zinn, a beautiful "flower" of pastel lavender crystals of amethyst, bursting in all directions. There is just a bit of anchoring matrix on back - this is mostly all crystal. One fascinating compound crystal here has five separate terminated sub-crystals sharing a single base!
