From the northern regions of Newfoundland in Canada, the Amethyst specimens from the La Manche Mine form in beautiful, flowering clusters, such as this offering. This particular specimen has rather large crystal points for the locality, some of which are incredibly gemmy and bright purple. It should be noted that many of the terminations are chipped, but this is typical of this mine, due to vein collapses caused by the freezing and thawing.
