Towering natural Amethyst crystals create a dramatic landscape of deep violet color and brilliant sparkle across this extraordinary 35.6-pound Brazilian geode. Its sheer scale, crystal depth, and one-of-a-kind formation make it a true statement specimen. About Amethyst Amethyst is the purple variety of Quartz, with its signature color created by trace amounts of iron combined with natural irradiation within the crystal over time. Its color can range from pale lavender to intensely saturated violet, with variations in color zoning and crystal growth giving each formation its own character. Prized for thousands of years, Amethyst takes its name from the ancient Greek amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated.” Ancient Greeks believed the stone could protect against drunkenness—a history that helped establish Amethyst's longstanding connection with clarity and a clear mind. Connected with peace, intuition, protection, and spiritual clarity, Amethyst is often chosen for meditation, rest, and creating a calmer environment. At this scale, the natural crystal formation becomes as much a sculptural statement as it is a mineral specimen. This XL Amethyst Geode is one of a kind. You will receive the exact specimen pictured.
