Description from the seller

Natural Deep Purple Crystallization - Wonderful Mineral Specimen - — Amethyst is a mineral that belongs to a family of silicate crystalline oxides, composed mainly of silica and oxygen. Its color, ranging from dark 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 fractures and cavities of volcanic rocks that have undergone high temperatures and high pressures. Amethyst Geode, a grotto of purple crystals. Amethyst, a precious mineral belonging to the family of silicate crystalline 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 is the result of the presence of iron and traces of other elements within the crystals. Every corner of the geode reveals unique shades of this extraordinary mineral. Amethyst has a fascinating geological history. It forms in the bowels of the earth, in igneous, volcanic, and sedimentary rocks, but also in hydrothermal veins and in cavities of volcanic rocks that have experienced extreme temperatures and high pressures. This amethyst geode is a testament to the power and beauty of the geological process that gave life to these crystals.
