Thick Deep Purple Slice with Snowballs
About the Item
This striking circular slice preserves the end of a large geode. Lined with deep
purple, high peaked amethyst crystals, this wonderful piece is punctuated with
small calcites overlaid with druzy quartz, resembling snowballs. Further sprinkles
of white quartz adorn the adjacent pristine amethyst crystals. The whole
resembling a landscape of freshly fallen crystal “snow” on a bed of deep amethyst.
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.

- Amethyst Crown Geode Slice with Sparkling Large Purple Druzy on Rotating StandLocated in Ametista Do Sul, BRAmethyst Geodes with Crown Formations are a rare form of Amethyst found exclusively in one mine. Unlike the usual amethyst druzy Formations, these geodes exhibit crystal points that create a crown-like structure, making them truly exceptional specimens. Whether you're a collector, decorator, or gallery owner, this rare and highly regarded amethyst geode deserves a prominent place in your collection, decor, or gallery. The main highlight of this specimen is the crown Amethyst, the points face forward and are naturally decorated with tiny Golden Goethite needles, creating an overall sparkly brilliance that dazzles the eyes. Another special characteristic is the exquisite beauty of its Amethyst matrix, which has been expertly polished to accentuate its natural colors and drawings. It is a double sided slice and we chose a 360º rotating base, that way you can easily see the beauty of both sides. A project that started with the raw amethyst agate geode...Category
