Monumental 8 Ft Giant Amethyst Cathedrals – XX-Large Geodes formed in Archway
Located in Ametista Do Sul, BR
Spectacular Pair of Giant Purple Amethyst Cathedral Geodes
▫️ Description
A natural masterpiece, this pair of XX-Large Amethyst Cathedrals is of unprecedented scale and beauty. Their tall yet curvy shape forms a sculptural archway, creating a visually stunning effect that makes them resemble natural gateways or cathedral-like structures. Standing at over 8 feet tall, these geodes are ready to become an extraordinary attraction in your space, adding style and calm energy to your home, hotel, crystal collection, or any space you choose.
The naturally shaped archway is the result of a large volcanic bubble that entrapped gases and minerals, which, over millions of years, crystallized into the stunning purple amethyst formations within. The deep purple druzy spreads uniformly across both geodes, with the crystal points naturally polished and transparent, creating a sparkly, shiny quality to them.

Antique, New and Vintage Natural Specimens
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.
