Calcite on Amethyst Surrounded by Agate, White Quartz and Green Celadonite Stand

About the Item

An interesting and stunning geode section with a striking colour mix. In this aesthetic piece the original basalt has been polished to reveal the exquisite green celadonite hidden within on the front, whilst maintaining its rough condition at the back. Such a thick and vibrant celadonite layer is uncommon. The interior of the mineral sculpture is endowed with a gorgeous very deep purple amethyst formation, which contrasts with the green celadonite beautifully. The transition between the green celadonite and the amethyst is marked by layers of brown agate and white quartz. Like a cherry on top, a beautiful white calcite formation, overlaid with white quartz, stands out on top of the sparkling amethyst. Calcite formation on amethyst is relatively rare, owing to different formation temperatures required for the two minerals. The exquisite piece is of a nice decorative size and is displayed on a custom metal stand. This piece was legally and ethically sourced directly in the prestigious mines of Uruguay, South America. Uruguayan amethyst is internationally recognised as being the finest and most aesthetic amethyst in the world, due to its intense deep purple colouration, 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.

  • Amethyst Geode with Deep Purple Amethyst Druzy, Blue Lace Agate, and Calcite
    Located in Ametista Do Sul, BR
    A geode that stands as an impressive natural sculpture, with calcite, deep purple, and shiny amethyst, and an aesthetical calcite inclusion interlacing that forms a unique display of natural artistry, a centerpiece. Rarely seen in any Amethyst specimen, the contrast between the deep purple Amethyst and the Blue Lace Agate creates a stunning visual effect. The Blue Lace Agate forms a natural frame in teal, white, and light blue colors that allows the Amethyst to shine from within, bringing its grape-jelly purple, along with intact points, creating a lustrous, sparkly effect to the specimen. The Agate Lines are a very special and rare feature of this amethyst specimen. They formed uniformly throughout the entire specimen. The layers begin with a moss agate matrix containing calcite inclusions, which form beautiful natural flowers. These are covered by the first layer of blue lace agate. Atop this, baby-blue and white laces developed, eventually giving way to the galaxy amethyst, allowing it to shine. To crown the geode, calcite perfectly formed on its side, adding a much needed contrasting aesthetical point to it. On a Cathedral with a Nave top, it stands at almost 19 Inches tall and weighing almost 55 lbs. This exceptional Amethyst with Lace-Agate geode specimen...
