Description from the seller
Characteristics of the Specimen:
Mineral: Amethyst – violet variety of quartz
Type: Crystalline druse in natural formation
Color: Purple, violet, lilac and lavender
Height: 17 cm
Width: 11 cm
Weight: 1.018 g (1.018 kg)
Chemical composition: SiO₂ – silicon dioxide
Crystal system: Trigonal
Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale
Finish: Crystallized face with mineral formation margins visible
Presentation: Specimen displayed vertically on a black metal pedestal
Condition: Mineral formation with irregularities and features inherent to crystallization
Crystal Beauty and Particularities:
The great highlight of this specimen is the combination between its uncommon geometry and the richness of crystallization.
The surface presents numerous amethyst quartz crystals with well-defined faces, whose terminations reflect light in different directions, producing a characteristic shine.
The distribution of the crystals creates interesting contrasts between zones of higher concentration, where deep violet tones predominate, and peripheral areas lighter, in which the transparency and delicacy of the crystal formations stand out.
At the edges, mineral bands are visible, following the contour of the piece, providing a transition between the crystallized surface and the outer rock structure.
Its asymmetric and curved form adds an artistic element to the composition, making this specimen especially interesting both from a mineralogical and decorative point of view.
