Exceptional “Excalibur” Amethyst Formation, Calcite, Agate, Quartz
About the Item
With its extremely unusual central amethyst epimorph after calcite, this natural
wonder evokes images of the legendary sword, Excalibur, magically fixed in
the stone. Elsewhere we see quartz-frosted calcite, goethite and amethystine
quartz. An extraordinary specimen.
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.

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.
Looking closely at it, on the back part of the geode, we find beautiful small amethyst rosettes...
