Thunder Bay District, Ontario, Canada
8.4 x 5.7 x 4.9 cm. A superb example of classic Thunder Bay amethyst, here richly included with the hematite that makes these specimens so distinctive, so that it really qualifies as "red quartz" more than amethyst. The luster is excellent. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.

Ashaway Village, Hopkinton, Washington Co., Rhode Island, USA
Amethyst scepters from this Rhode Island locality have never been prolific, but have always been quite popular among east coast collectors. I really like this specimen because unlike most from this locality I have seen, it has a nice milky quartz matrix without being skimpy on the size and color of the amethyst crystals.

Bill Morgenstern's Blog
A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.
Bill Morgenstern's Articles
Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.
Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).
Bill Morgenstern's Photos
You can use this search form to find photos in Bill's photo gallery. Mineral, locality and other photos are shown together unless you specify the type of photo. The default order is to show the most recent photos first, but again you can change this.
