Hi again,
This is another piece which came from my sister's former father in law. It was originally given to my sister and husband with many other fascinating pieces. When my sister and her husband split up (long after the father in law died) - this was given to me, rather inauspiciously, in the bottom of an aquarium of fish as a tank decoration. Sort of insulting to the Amethyst, I think. It has now sat, for years, in my office on a counter top. Although I thought it was beautiful, I didn't know anything about crystals until very recently. I've just cleansed it for the first time and am beginning to become acquainted with it.
I'd like to confirm first - this is amethyst, right?
Second, would a piece like this be called a chunk? Or is there a better name?
Is there any way of knowing what sort of rock partially surrounds the crystal?
It felt is deserved equal time being shown here - since I'm asking questions about another stone right now, too. Thanks for any help you can provide.
