Description from the seller
Excellent Amethyst Geode: Cathedral.
Extraordinary amethyst cathedral, a natural masterpiece shaped by the forces of the earth through millions of years. With its slender and elongated form, this cathedral is not only a unique piece for your decor, but a true celebration of nature.
The vibrant violet hue that characterizes these well-shaped crystals is the result of a long geological process. The porous cavities in basalt rock, formed by the cooling of lava, allowed silica-rich waters to filter and deposit the crystals. The presence of iron in the water then bestowed that distinctive violet color, symbol of nobility and mystery.

A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
