AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This monumental amethyst geode from Brazil is an exceptional natural object of museum quality. Originating from the renowned amethyst region of Rio Grande do Sul, where only the most intensely colored and high-quality geodes are found. The crystals display a deep, dark purple hue with natural concentration towards the center, a feature that only occurs with prolonged and stable growth in volcanic rock. The clear white quartz border naturally frames the crystal field and emphasizes the authenticity of the piece.
The geode measures approximately 150 cm in height, with a width of about 100 cm at the top and 50 cm at the bottom, and has a total weight of 384 kilograms. The exterior is completely natural and untreated, with no concrete or artificial finishing on the back or sides. This level of size and quality is exceptionally rare. Only at the bottom is a discreet concrete foot applied, solely to keep the geode standing safely and stably upright, without affecting its natural character.
Large, dark purple amethyst geodes of this size, with fully natural exteriors, are becoming increasingly rare on the current market. This object clearly stands outside the regular offerings and cannot be compared to standard geodes or decorative pieces. It is a high-quality collector's item and a valuable statement piece for exclusive interiors, galleries, showrooms, or serious collections.
