I would like to know more about trapiche like pattern amethyst.
After a long research, I didn’t find any trapiche with a perfect star and dark, like this ones.
If someone has the knowlege and can tell more about this beautiful trapiche-like amethysts and also have any ideia regarding the pricing of this type of material, i’ll be grateful.
Thank you Hobart. This already helps a lot in research.

We have frequently provided gems/minerals to GIA for study and many have been written up in GIA’s Gems and Gemology, including this Amethyst Trapiche. See the article in this link:
A few of these that have been published are available for sale. One has been sold.
Some collectors seek out published items and we have a decently large selection where our gems have appeared in newspapers, magazines including some found on airlines, books (two editions by Wallis), trade journals like Gems & Gemology and many websites with permission such as International Gem Society. (And even on a CD of Classical Music).
From Brasil ??? I doubt it very much. Unless from an unknown location

Yes Bro. it came from Brazil - Rondônia.
This type of material has been extracted from our own mine, but we have not yet placed it on the market. for 5 years we have been preparing all the structure and documentation to make everything ethical.
we are going to present this material for the first time on Denver gem show.
