Agatised Geode Slice with Rare Central Calcite Formation and White Quartz
About the Item
Bordered by a thick, blueish agate layer, this wonderful slice preserves an interior
of large white quartz crystals with a prominent central calcite. The calcite
itself is overlaid in amethystine quartz, in another example of epimorphism,
with further pinkish “frosted” quartz projections.
This piece was legally and ethically sourced directly in the prestigious mines of Uruguay, South America. Uruguayan amethyst is internationally recognized as being the finest and most aesthetic amethyst in the world, due to its intense deep purple coloration, the large size of its peaked crystals, and its durability. These crystals were formed over 120-140 million years during the Cretaceous period, and as all of our pieces are formed naturally, they are completely unique and unrepeatable natural wonders of art.

Small Amethyst Geode with Rare Quartz after Calcite and Flower Formations
Located in Ametista Do Sul, BR
Sculptural and full of special features, this small yet gorgeous geode brings rarity at every point. Intact formations create an impressive landscape, resembling a natural cave or aquascape, with minerals that develop into a beautifully aesthetic composition. This rare combination makes it a standout piece for crystal aficionados, collectors, and décor artists seeking something truly extraordinary.
The whole geode commands attention, and the first thing we notice is the calcite. It formed in different ways, with some perfectly crystallized formations adding a delicate touch to the specimen. The main calcite in this piece is a crystal after calcite, which could be a specimen in itself.
