Meteorite: Amethysts Special Collection Specimens, an amethyst geode with rare spherical calcite formations, originating from Uruguay.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A geode from Uruguay that seems to breathe. The intense purple of the amethyst envelops the interior like a night cloak, while calcite crystals emerge in small milky spheres, suspended between the quartz points like drops of moon trapped in time. This formation is rare for its harmony and distribution: calcite does not invade, does not dominate, but dialogues with the amethyst. Each white globule is a pause of light in the depth of purple, a natural rhythm that has slowly formed over millions of years, as hydrothermal fluids changed composition and temperature. The result is a geode that combines contrast and continuity: the warm edge of basalt, the saturated purple in the center, and calcite gathering in pure, opaque nodules like freshly laid snow. In person, it emanates a surprising presence — a spontaneous balance, not designed by anyone.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
