A compact cluster of deep violet amethyst from Nashik, covered in sharp, glassy pyramidal points that build a rounded, upright form. The color is richer than the usual lavender material.

Amethyst forms in gas cavities of the Deccan basalt flows, and its purple color comes from traces of iron combined with natural irradiation. Well-shaped clusters like this, as opposed to plates or geode sections, are less often found.

An easily displayed cabinet-sized amethyst cluster.
