Exceptional Heart Shaped Formation with Icy Calcites

About the Item

A stunning heart-shaped amethyst formation with a central rocket-shaped calcite covered with a blanket of amethystine quartz and black goethite. To the left an icy calcite covered in deep amethyst crystals. 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.

  • 102lb Honeycomb Calcite Amber Onyx Rock Stone Crystal Formation Drilled Holes
    Located in Dayton, OH
    A fine and impressive 102 pound Honeycomb calcite crystal or stone. Features ten drilled holes. The stone is transparent and translucent, offering a luminous glow when accentuated by artificial, direct or indirect lighting. Honeycomb Calcite is a beautiful and impressive form of calcite. Mined exclusively in the Salt Lake City region. Honeycomb Calcite, much like onyx and marble (in general characteristics) can provide a colorful replacement or dramatic accent stone for architectural and artistic applications. Back in 1995, valuable calcite deposits were discovered in Northern Utah and Shamrock Mining Associates would gain the exclusive mining rights to Utah’s beautiful Amber Onyx, also called Honey Onyx or Honeycomb Calcite. The “explorer” who made the discovery was Floyd Anderson, now a vibrant 95-years-old.
