I like the different colour zones on that specimen, milky grey at the bottom, some smoky zones in the middle and the purple amethyst colour at the top. Really beautiful amethyst pancake, Mike!

Wonderful specimen again, Mike! I think the exact locality for those amethysts is Maquar in Ghazni Province ( https://www.mindat.org/loc-30423.html ).

Very NICE quartz sitting on scheelite ;-) A beautiful specimen from that interesting locality. And an excellent photo as usual (I know how hard it can be to take photos of clear quartz crystals ...)!
