Rare Unusual Mineral Formation of Grey Druze and White Quartz
About the Item
An unusual mineral formation of organic appearance. This piece is composed of light grey to green druze, with beautiful multiple stalactite formations and a blanket of white quartz.
The edges of this beautiful mineralogical piece have been polished, and so it is possible to appreciate a layer of green celadonite, grey agate and white quartz on top of the rough basalt. It's stunning to see the wonderful intricate formations preserved here.
The bottom of the piece maintains its rough basalt condition, allowing us to imagine how it formed inside the cavities of volcanic rock, millions of years ago. This stunning piece its very decorative, due to the shape, size and the easy to combine colour. The piece is displayed on a custom wooden 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.
