Description from the seller
This particular Amethyst sphere from Brazil allows us to admire the natural formation of crystals inside a geode that has been shaped by human hands without compromising the natural and flawless beauty of the crystals.Throughout history, Amethyst has always held a special virtue: to prevent drunkenness and excessive indulgence; so much so that even the ancient Greeks and Romans would stud their drinking vessels with amethyst, convinced that they would not be intoxicated by the beverage.Even Catholic bishops wear an amethyst ring to protect themselves from mystical intoxication.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. 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".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
