About this pattern

A cluster of five purple amethyst crystals growing from a lump of gray rock. A tall crystal stands straight up in the middle, a long one leans out to the left and a shorter one to the right, and two small ones stand in front. Every crystal is a straight-sided prism with a pointed tip, shaded in flat tones: light violet on the left face, mid violet in the middle and dark violet on the right, with a pale lavender facet at the point. The rock is a low flat-bottomed slab in three grays, darkest at its right end. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

43 stitches wide by 46 high: 1,167 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Violet 553, Light Violet 554 and 5 more).
