I received an order from Jamie and she sent me a wonderful specimen. My only problem is that I have lost the paper I wrote what it was down on when I was speaking to Jamie on the phone. I just hope she chimes in and tells what the minerals are on the amethyst crystals. Thanks for looking! Fran

Awesome! It has the look of Pyrite, but the crystals aren't Pyrite shaped. Weird.

It loos like in addition Amethyst, you have some yellow Citrine.
For the metal, do a "streak test". Scrtach the metal against some unglazed porcelain and note the colour of the streak.
Also do a hardness test on the metal. Does the metal scratch glass? Does the metal scratch a knife? Does a knife scratch the metal?
With the colour, the strak and the hardness, someone should be able to nail the ID.
