Description from the seller
A geode is a hollow rock with gemstones inside. They are formed under pressure during volcanic processes. The formation of amethyst in the geode often begins with quartz, which is liquid during volcanic activity and seeps through cracks in the rock, cooling and solidifying. The purple color of amethyst develops due to the presence of iron and titanium. Amethyst crystals are often hexagonal. In sunlight, amethysts can fade, but they can regain their purple color through radiation with radium.
Besides their beautiful appearance, many people also believe that amethyst geodes can influence energies within our bodies and in our homes. In chakra philosophy and crystal healing, amethysts are associated with the top two chakras, 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 based on 'high vibrations,' which are linked to the spiritual and positive, and 'low vibrations,' associated with the earth and more negative emotional states, such as depression.
This geode originates from Brazil. It is stored in a dark room. The color is quite vivid, with a broad rim of quartz, and along the sides, a band of agate is visible. To ensure the geode stands properly, it has been finished with cement and anthracite paint, as is customary with geodes.
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.
