Brazilian Amethyst Geode. A large cone shaped Amethyst Geode with gorgeous purple crystal points, 18 x 12 x 12 in., blue/green hued outer shell. The end of the geode has been cut off to create a cave-like view of the beautiful purple crystals. Amethyst is the most valuable type of quartz, and it has a high iron content that gives it the beautiful purple or lavender color. (Amethyst Geodes were formed millions of years ago in hot lava as gas pockets, fluid silica then penetrated inside, together with combinations of iron particles, thus creating the purple tone. A huge Amethyst Geode may be just what you need to promote healing, sobriety, piety, celibacy, love, happiness, and good dreams, at least according to popular myths. This exquisite Amethyst Geode is perfect for displaying and certain to create some sparkling conversation.Weight 34 pounds.
