AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A geode is a hollow rock whose interior is lined with crystals. They are formed under pressure during volcanic processes. The formation of amethyst in a geode often begins with quartz, which during volcanic processes becomes liquid 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 can fade, but their purple color can be restored through irradiation with radium.
Besides their beautiful appearance, 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 two upper 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, and “low vibrations” are associated with the Earth and more negative mental states, such as depression.
This geode originates from Brazil. It is kept in a dark space. The amethyst has a beautiful shape. The color is a somewhat lighter purple. To set the geode properly, it has been finished, as is typical for geodes, with cement and anthracite paint. For the photos, a small lamp was used to illuminate the interior well.
Carefully packaged and shipped with a track-and-trace code.
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.
