Vera Cruz Amethyst is a rare, high-vibration, light lavender-purple quartz found only in Veracruz, Mexico. Known for exceptional clarity and slender, often phantom-like prismatic crystals, it is prized for spiritual, calming, and protective properties. It typically features natural, delicate, and often phantom, termination points.
