The Royal Castle Claim in Mule Creek, located in the Steeple Rock Mining District of Grant County, New Mexico, is renowned for its amethyst specimens. These amethysts are notable for their light purple color and often form as skeletal crystals, which means they have a hollow or partially hollow structure, giving them a unique and intricate appearance. The amethyst from this location can also exhibit scepter formations, where a larger crystal grows on top of a smaller one, creating a visually striking feature.
Mule Creek is situated in an area with significant geological activity, contributing to the formation of these beautiful amethyst crystals. The region's mineral-rich environment, combined with the specific conditions of temperature and pressure, allows for the growth of these distinctive crystals. Collectors value amethyst from the Royal Castle Claim for its rarity and the unique characteristics that differentiate it from amethyst found in other locations.
