The Brushy Mountain, a.k.a. Mule Creek, quartz crystal area is located on the Arizona-New Mexico border in Grant County, New Mexico. The quartz crystals formed in cavities in a rhyolite rock. Most of the crystals are small (1-8 cm on average), and rather heavily included, but they are typically a light amethystine color and display unusual crystal shapes. Many of the crystals are scepters with skeletal habit. The above specimen is a nice sharp crystal point displaying the typical growth patterns and light amethystine color typical of this locale. (m494 is priced at $2.50)
