Remarkable 121 g Harlequin Amethyst specimen featuring distinct hematite inclusions dusted across the crystal points. The piece showcases a striking second-growth generation of bladed barite covering approximately 70% of the amethyst surface, creating an exceptional textural contrast.
A captivating mineral combination displaying remarkable overgrowth layers and rich inclusion details. Measuring 75 × 45 × 25 mm, this specimen highlights the sought-after Harlequin variety, where fine red hematite flakes and specks are preserved along and beneath the amethyst points.

This leafy overgrowth beautifully frames the remaining exposed violet and red-flecked amethyst crystal tips.
