Locality: Reel Mine, Lincoln County, North Carolina. Size Class: Large Cabinet. Collection: Jack and Judy Farnham Collection. This is an impressive specimen of amethyst (purple quartz) for any USA locality with crystals to 6 cm long; and it happens to be from a rare, old, classic location that is seldom worked. This particular specimen was one of the finest found in an early 2000's dig here by noted field collector Terry Ledford, who recently passed away in a tragic mining accident at one of his other projects. It was then long in the collection of cabinet sized USA classics belonging to Jack and Judy Farnham of Louisiana. The piece is in incredible condition, with no damage and excellent aesthetics all around. It comes mounted on a custom, removable, display base. Size 23.5 x 16.6 x 7.2 cm.
