AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A geode is a hollow rock with a gemstone inside. They are formed under pressure during volcanic processes. The formation of amethyst in the geode often starts with quartz, which is liquid during volcanic processes and crawls through cracks in rock, cools and solidifies. The amethyst develops its purple color due to the presence of iron and titanium. The amethyst crystals are often hexagonal. In sunlight amethysts may fade, but through exposure to radiation from radium their purple color can be restored.
Besides their beauty, many people also believe that amethyst geodes can influence energies in our bodies and in the home. Amethysts are associated within chakra philosophy and crystal healing with the top two chakras (energy centers in the body), namely the third eye chakra and the crown chakra. The atoms that make up the stones emit vibrations. Atoms in our bodies also vibrate. In metaphysics, 'high vibrations' are linked to the spiritual and positive, while 'low vibrations' are associated with the earth and more negative states of mind, such as depression.
This geode comes from Brazil. It is kept in a dark room. The color is fairly vivid, and at the edges there is green rock, such as chrysocolla, celadonite, or epidote, which was formed in the process. To keep the geode stable, it is finished, as is customary with geodes, with cement and anthracite paint. For the photos, a small light was used to illuminate the interior well.
Seller's Story
Rootz Gallery has an extensive collection of remarkable art objects from the non-Western world and a collection of modern and contemporary art. The art collection originally started with the gathering of modern and contemporary art. Due to a long-standing fascination with other cultures, it was quickly expanded to include non-Western art objects. The gallery has primarily focused on non-Western art for a long time, but has recently also refocused on modern and contemporary art.
Many pieces originate from ritual contexts and have been carefully collected over a period of 40 years. The items, often acquired during travels and coming from old collections, offer a unique insight into authentic cultures and traditions.
