Amethyst Geode

This specimen is an amethyst geode, a natural crystalline formation created deep within the Earth over millions of years. Displayed in a museum-quality glass dome bell jar.

Formed in volcanic rock cavities, the geode reveals a stunning interior lined with violet quartz crystals. The deep purple hue is caused by traces of iron and natural radiation during the crystal’s growth, creating the distinctive colour associated with amethyst. Each crystal terminates in a sharp point, catching the light and showcasing the natural geometry of mineral formation.

Sourced from the basalt-rich regions of South America, this geode has been carefully cleaned and mounted to highlight its natural beauty and structure. Once prized by ancient civilisations for its supposed protective and calming properties, amethyst continues to captivate with its striking form and geological significance.

Name: Amethyst Geode
Location: South America
Age: 130-50 Million Years Old

Hidden within ancient volcanic rock, this amethyst geode formed when mineral-rich water seeped into hollow cavities and slowly crystallised over millions of years. The result is a dazzling display of violet quartz crystals, each one growing naturally from the cavity walls in perfect geometric formations. The intensity of the purple colour is caused by trace elements of iron, altered by natural radiation during the stone's long formation.

Amethyst has been admired since antiquity, used in jewellery, royal regalia, and even believed by the ancient Greeks to guard against intoxication. Today, it remains one of the most iconic and widely recognised quartz varieties. Housed under a museum-quality glass dome bell jar, this specimen offers a rare opportunity to observe Earth’s geological artistry preserved in its natural form.
