▫️ Description
Magnificent, rare and colorful, this Amethyst Geode features a stunning multi-colored, deep purple Amethyst crystals on a perfectly cathedral shape geode. Imagine this geode enhancing your space, offering a calming energy.
What first catches the eye in this geode is the variety and beauty of its Amethyst crystals. At the top, a sparkling purple galaxy druzy resembles a night sky, beautifully accented by elongated flower formations naturally filled with golden goethite inclusions—reminiscent of shooting comets.
On the bottom half, a crown-like formation of large Amethyst points has uniquely taken shape. This rare formation is found in only a handful of mines, making this geode truly one-of-a-kind. Within and around this "crown," additional calcite crystals and smaller Amethyst points with unique inclusions further enhance the specimen’s beauty.
Overall, this geode stands out not only for its vibrant banded agate but also for its exceptional variety of mineral inclusions, such as Goethite (Cacoxenite), Calcite, and other fascinating mineral formations.
Perfectly sized at just over 21 inches tall and weighing 39 lbs, it’s ideal for display as a centerpiece or addition to your collection. The geode's base consists of a thin Basalt layer, securely reinforced to protect and showcase its intricate and delicate natural structure.
Ethically sourced directly from Ametista do Sul, Brazil—renowned for producing some of the world's finest Amethyst—this specimen brings peace of mind along with exceptional beauty.
This high-quality Amethyst geode is sure to become a treasured highlight in your collection or decor. Please view the photos for additional details, and feel free to message us with any questions or special requests. 🤍

Antique, New and Vintage Sculptures
Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art.
A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living room bookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. Figurative sculptures are representational works that portray a specific person, animal or object. And while decorating with busts, which are sculpted or cast figurative works, hasn’t exactly topped the list of design trends every year, busts are back. According to designer Timothy Corrigan, “They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give.” Abstract sculptures, on the other hand, are not meant to show something specific. Instead, they invoke a mood or scene without directly stating what they are portraying.
Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?
When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. And make sure you know how the size and form of the sculpture will affect your space in whole. If you choose a sculpture with dramatic design elements, such as sharp angles or bright colors, for example, try to better integrate this new addition by echoing those elements in the rest of your room’s design.
Get started on decorating with sculpture now — find figurative sculptures, animal sculptures and more on 1stDibs today.
