AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A geode is a hollow rock with a gemstone inside. They are formed under pressure during volcanic processes. The formation of amethyst in the geode often starts with quartz, which during volcanic processes is liquid and crawls through cracks in rock, cools and solidifies. 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 through irradiation with radium they can regain their purple color.

Besides the fact that they look stunning, 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 upper two 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, it is assumed that there are ‘high vibrations’, linked to the spiritual and positive, and ‘low vibrations’ associated with the earth and more negative states of mind, such as depression.

This geode originates from Brazil. It was kept in a dark space. The amethyst has a beautiful shape. The hollow of the geode is not very deep. The color is indeed a beautiful purple. To make the geode stand properly, it has been finished, as is common with geodes, with cement and anthracite paint. For the photos a small light was used to properly show the interior.

Carefully packed 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.
