World Class, Museum Quality Smoky-Amethyst Quartz Specimen. Diamond Hill Mine, Abbeville, South Carolina, USA. 82 pounds!!!
This is the specimen widely agreed by the miners themselves to be the best single specimen ever recovered in 8 years of machine mining at the famous Diamond Hill Mine, Antreville, SC, USA. It weighs in at 82Lbs, and has virtually no damage, something that is very rare from this locality. It has mirror lustrous faces, razor sharp corners, and wonderfully complex termination points. It rests on a bed of white quartz, and has all sorts of surprises down in its depths, and underneath in the voids. This specimen is difficult to light and photograph, due to its sheer size and dark color. In the collection of the noted miner who collected it, Donald Brockway, it is now offered for sale to the public for the first time ever. It can be inspected in person by appointment, and can be crated for shipping or even hand carried by currier for delivery.
