Cross section of an Amethyst/agate stalactite. Lots of them coming out of Uruguay and showing up in show booths. They form in some of those big amethyst cathedral geodes and are probably a by product of cathedrals broken during extraction...Mel

Good one Henry! I honestly think that amethyst thingy would be incredibly beautiful mounted on a slab of cedar and hung on the wall!
