Russia

Description
This Amethyst was a part of my father's main collection.
It was without label, but in the cabinet of Russian minerals.
I see from other post on Instagram that these are alphine Amethyst crystals, but I do not know the exact location. It could possibly be from "Tarbagataysky District, Republic of Buryatia".
The crystals are deep purple at the top, and more white at the bottom. There is also some smoky quartz, especially one very nice smoky quart at the underside (seen in the last picture)
The crystals are completely damage-free except along the edges of the specimen.

I am not sure when it was collected, but I assume about 20 years ago (or more) at the time when my father drove to Russia to trade minerals on several occasions.
