M2-7    Amethyst - Amatitlan, Municipio de Zumpango del Rio, Geurrero,  Mexico    $50;    The classic look of the Geurrero amethyst crystals is unmistakable.   The stout slightly tapering crystals on this specimen are very aesthetic.   The incomplete crystal in front is probably due to where it was attached in the pocket.    Size: 6 x 4.5 x 3.5     Reserved
