Kidder Lane, a housing subdivision in Southborough, Massachusetts, was the site of a unique find of high-quality, deep purple amethyst crystals in a freak one-time find maybe 20 years ago. This is a superb, nearly 6 cm single amethyst crystal from this find, with exceptional color and great form, on just a little bit of crystallized clear quartz matrix. Ex. Fred Parker collection. A rare New England mineral classic! Mark Cross photo.
