What happens when calcite crystallizes after amethyst in the same geode? You get a cluster where two minerals share the same piece of stone.
This cluster pairs purple amethyst points with calcite crystals, so it offers more contrast and texture than plain amethyst, and the mix is easy to spot in the photos. At about 8 by 6.5 inches, it is a generous centerpiece for a coffee table, a console, a bookshelf or a mineral cabinet. Amethyst is the February birthstone, and a two mineral cluster like this one makes a thoughtful gift for a collector who already owns the basics. This is the exact amethyst cluster with calcite shown.
The cluster is about 8 by 6.5 by 4 inches.
Amethyst is purple quartz colored by trace iron and natural radiation. Calcite, calcium carbonate, often crystallizes later in the same geode pockets, leaving calcite crystals perched on the purple points. Calcite is much softer than quartz, 3 on the Mohs scale, so those areas deserve gentler handling.
Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
