Large amethyst chapel with calcite and stalactites
About the Item
Another large amethyst chapel, the corresponding half of the original geode,
showing deep purple amethyst crystals punctuated with small stalactites
and overlaid in places with tan coloured druzy quartz. The thick
white quartz borders lie inside a thin celadonite-basalt shell.
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.
