[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 211482, member: 2976"] I've heard of amethyst at either Watalgan or Winfield, as well as thunder eggs. Never been there though. Went back to Lowmead on Saturday, didn't find much. But father-in-law was there for the first time and found a piece that will facet quite a nice purple-tinted smokey I think. Finished a bit of dark Lowmead amethyst last night in a cut called "Squaretugese". It's a semi-Portuguese cut pavilion with a step-cut crown. The look, is very effective! I actually stuffed it up and there are a number of technical imperfections but the stone looks so nice you would never know unless you knew exactly what you were looking for. [/QUOTE]
