Description from the seller

Large section of Geode characterized by Quartz and Amethyst crystals.
This large slice was cut from a large geode originating from Brazil.
Geodes are formed through a process of mineral deposition within pockets or fissures inside rocks. When mineral-saturated water seeps into the fissures, it deposits material that gradually accumulates, forming a layer of crystals of various sizes and shapes.
The formation of geodes requires a delicate balance of factors including temperature, pressure, and mineral concentration in solution, and they can take thousands of years to form.

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.
