    my understanding of the story from my friend who has cut some of the
    GA amethyst material i mentioned some odd posts ago go like this.
    amethyst deposit on private property - the owner is very prudent and
    cautious - some word gets out - many years pass by - deal is struck
    last year or so - no rough is allowed for sale at all - i will meet
    with the supposed sole distributor next week to purchase and can post
    more info  AT  that time. but for now to describe the material it is has
    a highly saturated even color and it is not red but it has very
    strong red undertones and it throws distinctive red color when the
    facets reflect light and the quality of the quartz crystal is very
    very clean and free from inclussions - later goo
