Item Description
Amethyst is, perhaps, the best loved of all the quartz varieties. Its warm purple glow is a favorite in home decorating and it’s widely used as a Feng Shui element. Place in your wealth corner and see what happens! Amethyst's purple color is due to small amounts (about 40 parts per million) of iron impurities in the crystal structure of quartz. It is the traditional and modern birthstone for those born in the month of February.
This piece has a beautiful polished face with clear quartz surrounding the internal cavity with many small and medium individual deep purple crystals. This high-quality Amethyst Cluster from Brazil is a great display piece and a wonderful gift for your favorite mineral aficionado.
Dimensions: 22" high x 13" wide
Mineralogy: Amethyst's purple color is due to small amounts (about 40 parts per million) of iron impurities in the crystal structure of quartz. Amethyst has been found in siliceous volcanics, occurring as macroscopic crystals and druzy coverings inside of agate-lined cavities, often forming geodes. Amethyst also occurs in quartz veins.
