AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exclusive Pair of Deep Purple Amethyst Cathedral Geodes with White Calcite Inclusions – 1 x 70 kg and 1 x 27 kg
Coordinated pair of Amethyst Cathedral Geodes of the highest quality, characterized by a deep and saturated purple color (Grade: Deep Purple / Extra Dark). This pair was selected for the extraordinary chromatic coherence between the two pieces and for the presence of rare crystalline formations, making it an ideal set for luxury interior design projects or museum collections.
Approximate dimensions:
Large Cathedral: H 100 cm, W 41 cm, D 31 cm | Weight 70 kg.
The heart of the cavity is embellished with white "Stellated Calcite Flowers" that create an exceptional color contrast with the dark purple of the quartz crystals.
Small Cathedral: H 72 cm, W 26 cm, D 20 cm | Weight 27 kg.
A perfect twin in saturation and brilliance, completing the symmetry of the set, it is enriched by an exceptional border of natural zoned agate, which frames the crystals with elegant translucent shades.
Origin: Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul)
Quality: Extra Deep Purple (Intense Purple), untreated
Crystallization: Intact points, superior vitreous luster.
Inclusions: Stellated calcite and agate borders visible on the edges.
Base: Both pieces are freestanding. The large cathedral features a technical concrete base to ensure maximum stability and safety in display.
Logistics and Shipping:
Given the fragility and substantial weight, hand pickup is highly recommended in the Municipality of Vicenza (Italy). In case of shipping, the pieces will be professionally packaged on a reinforced pallet with anti-impact packaging to ensure their integrity. Insured shipping is available.
