Description from the seller
Stunning Amethyst sphere from Brazil. Amethyst is a mineral that belongs to the macrocrystalline quartz family, with a typical purple color that can vary from crystal to crystal depending on quality and provenance.
In this wonderful sphere, we can notice the size and perfection of the crystals left intact by master artisans, as well as the intense purple color inside the geode, which shows the highest quality of the mineral.
A Greek legend narrates the formation of the Amethyst crystal, caused by the wrath of the god Bacco, who threw a fierce beast at a beautiful maiden named Ametista, indeed. The maiden sought help from the goddess Diana, who saw no other way to save her but to turn her to stone. Bacco then decided to pour his finest wine over the petrified girl, who eagerly absorbed this divine nectar until she took on the coloration we know today.
Handcrafted wrought iron support
