Description from the seller

Its changing color, ranging from deep violet to lilac, is due to the presence of iron and traces of other elements. Amethyst forms in igneous, volcanic and sedimentary rocks. It is also found in hydrothermal veins, in fissures and cavities of volcanic rocks that have undergone high temperatures and high pressures. Amethyst Geode, a cave of violet crystals. Amethyst, a precious mineral belonging to the family of silicate oxides, comes to life in this secret dwelling. Its changing beauty, unfolding from dark violet to lilac, is a testament to its chemical complexity. This fascinating color range results from the presence of iron and traces of other elements within the crystals. Every corner of the geode reveals unique shades of this extraordinary mineral.

It forms deep within the earth, in igneous, volcanic and sedimentary rocks, but also in hydrothermal veins and in the cavities of volcanic rocks that have undergone extreme temperatures and high pressures. This amethyst geode stands as a testament to the power and beauty of the geological process that gave life to these crystals.
