Let's have another since we are all havin' so much fun with these.
This is one from the old family collection that had gone un-noticed in a box of rocks until yesterday.  Stuck way back in a corner of a long box and buried of course.  Good thing it's pretty hard. Very nice color and clearness too. What is it?

 Wow Dan, thats an amazing piece!!! You have been holding out on me....heheIf you need any more help going through those rock boxes, just let me know.  Fantastic purple color, but I think the crystal shape isnt quite right to be an amethyst.  Anyone else agree? You said it was hard...How hard? 7 or harder?
