Amethyst from Sardinia

Amethyst from Capurru Quarry in Sardinia is distinguished by its delicate lavender hue — soft, translucent, and notably different from the saturated purple tones of more common localities. Specimens typically occur as small crystals attached to matrix or nestled within geodes, with skeletal crystal forms frequently observed. These growth structures offer both mineralogical interest and quiet aesthetic refinement, making them a characteristic and collectible expression of Sardinian mineralogy.
