Finding the Right natural-specimens for You

Natural specimens turn things found in nature, such as rocks, crystals and timber, into art. Sometimes these specimens are hand-carved into sculptures. Other times, antique, new and vintage natural specimens themselves are best displayed in their most untouched state. These pieces range from Victorian-era objects to modern-day designs and include everything from sculptures made from animal horns to works in wood, either as sculptures or merely imposing and provocative chunks of driftwood.

Natural specimens serve as compelling decor in any collection or home. Just as any curious decorative object, such as an ancient scientific instrument or taxidermy mount, will draw attention to your carefully curated home library or mantel, natural specimens can spark interesting discussions about life and art. Whether it’s a piece of ancient pottery formed from natural clay, plants sculpted from metal, sculptures of animals or antique stone, they grant a window into all of nature’s wonders.

Natural specimen sculptures can complement many aesthetics. A rare geode makes a stunning centerpiece in a study or living room. Crystals and rock crystal spheres carved in the 1970s add a sense of etherealness and quiet beauty to any space.

Whatever your taste, the selection of antique, new and vintage natural specimens on 1stDibs includes precisely the right piece for your space.

Questions About Amethyst And Calcite
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    An amethyst is believed to have healing properties. It is a stone of spiritual protection and purification that many believe has the power to cleanse one's energy of negative influences.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Siberian amethyst is a gemstone prized for its dark purple color. The gemstones are much rarer than the redder variety commonly used to produce jewelry and decorative objects. Most come from mines in Uruguay, Siberia and the U.S. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Siberian amethyst gemstone jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not amethyst rings are durable is largely a matter of how you define the term. Amethysts have a hardness rating of 7, making them resistant to scratching. However, you can still damage an amethyst ring if you wear it while performing household chores or engaging in intense physical activity. Shop a selection of amethyst gemstone rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Amethyst can be worn in gold and the two combine well together given their complementary coloring. Because amethyst is a hard stone, it is also safe for everyday wear.
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Yes, you can wear amethyst with gold, but it's not the best metal for this gemstone. The popular choices are silver and platinum. The white metals enhance its bluish undertones, whereas the warm metals help it look more regal. Find a variety of gemstones on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Yes, amethyst can be different colors. They occur in primary hues such as pale violet, light lavender and deep purple. Amethyst may also exhibit the secondary hues of blue and red. Find a variety of amethyst jewelry and other gemstones on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    Not many stones are as beautiful as amethyst. Indeed, vintage and antique amethyst jewelry has innumerable fans, and February’s birthstone has many unique attributes. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed this wine-colored quartz would keep them from getting drunk. Amethyst is a purple quartz, its beautiful violet hue — which can range from a light pink to a deep purple — is the result of irradiation, trace elements and iron impurities. Find amethyst jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    Amethyst has also been used to make jewelry such as beads, cabochons, tumbled stone, faceted stones, and many other ornaments. As it is believed, amethyst jewelry helps to reduce rage and keeps you calm. Find an exquisite collection of antique and vintage amethyst jewelry from different periods on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The dark purple Deep Russian amethyst is largely considered one of the rarest high-grade amethysts. However, rare does not always equal sought after. The value of the amethyst may depend on the labor needed to facet the semi-precious stone. You can shop a collection of expertly vetted amethysts from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    An amethyst ring is good for an engagement ring. Its Mohs hardness of 7 means it's good for everyday wear, but will show wear over the years. The choice in engagement ring stone is a personal choice.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Amethyst crystals have little worth. The labor that goes into faceting the stone accounts for the bulk of the stone's price. Typically, amethysts are worth anywhere from $2 to $10 per carat.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    How much an amethyst stone ring is worth depends on the origin, cut, color, clarity, shine, shape and certificate it carries. In general, the price of an amethyst gemstone can range from $2.74 per carat to $16.44 per carat and much more depending on the quality combination specified. Find a collection of antique and vintage amethyst rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Amethyst stones are not commonly associated with any bad effects. Instead, these stones are said to have healing properties. Specifically, amethysts are adored for enhancing the immune system, improving endocrine function, and enhancing the skin's appearance.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    Amethyst price per carat usually starts from $2 and can go up to $7. Typically, with amethyst, the labor that goes into faceting the stone is going to represent the bulk of the price of the cut gemstone. A range of amethyst jewelry can be found on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    One way to tell if your glass is black amethyst is to hold it up to the light. Black amethyst will appear black until light hits it, and then it will appear as dark purple. You’ll find a large collection of amethysts from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
