AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A geode is a hollow rock lined with a crystal inside. They are formed under pressure during volcanic processes. The formation of amethyst in the geode often begins with quartz, which, during volcanic processes, is molten and creeps through cracks in rock, cools, and solidifies. The amethyst develops its purple color due to the presence of iron and titanium. Amethyst crystals are often hexagonal. In sunlight, amethysts can fade, but radiation exposure with radium can restore their purple color.
Besides the fact that they look beautiful, 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 brow chakra and the crown chakra. The atoms that make up the stones emit vibrations. Atoms in our bodies also vibrate. In metaphysics, one relies on ‘high vibrations,’ linked to the spiritual and positive, and ‘low vibrations,’ related to the earth and more negative moods, such as depression.
This geode comes from Brazil. It is kept in a dark room. The amethyst has, at the edge in a few spots, a green stone, such as chrysocolla, celadonite, or epidote, which also formed during the process. To make the geode stand well, it has been finished, as is common 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.
