Amethyst Stalactite Crystal Cluster Formation - One of a Kind, 5 Inch

Few amethyst pieces show how a geode actually grew, and this stalactite formation is one of them.

Deep purple amethyst crystals coat a cluster that grew around stalactite shapes, the columns that form from dripping mineral water inside some volcanic geodes, so you get an organic, intricate texture instead of a flat bed of points. The close up and back photos show the growth pattern from several angles, and the side views show the thickness. At about 5 inches long it fits a bookshelf, a desk or a display cabinet, and it is a strong conversation piece for anyone who collects amethyst or enjoys mineral formations. It also makes a memorable February birthday gift. This is the exact amethyst cluster shown.

The cluster is about 5 by 3.5 by 1.5 inches. Look at the ruler photo for scale.

About Amethyst Stalactites

Stalactites form as mineral rich water drips and deposits layer after layer. In amethyst geodes formed in volcanic basalt, those drip columns become coated in amethyst crystals, and well known examples come from mines near Artigas, Uruguay. Amethyst is purple quartz colored by trace iron and natural radiation.

Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
