Thunder Bay Hematite-Coated Amethyst Cluster – Deep Red Burgundy Crystal Specimen
A truly one-of-a-kind piece from our family-owned mine near Thunder Bay, Ontario — this hematite-coated amethyst cluster displays a dramatic deep burgundy-red exterior that makes it unlike any typical purple amethyst. The iron-rich hematite coating transforms each crystal point into a glowing, metallic-red gem, while the base reveals glimpses of the classic violet amethyst beneath. Raw, bold, and completely natural.
