Amethyst Cluster with Calcite Formation - One of a Kind

A calcite formation sits among the amethyst crystals of this cluster, adding a second texture to the purple.

The amethyst runs from light to dark purple, and the calcite interrupts the points so the piece reads as a specimen, not just a chunk of color. It is a compact, palm-filling size that fits a desk, a nightstand or a bathroom shelf, and the photos in hand show how it sits. If you already own a plain amethyst cluster, this is a good next step, and it doubles as a February birthday gift.

About Amethyst with Calcite

Amethyst is purple quartz colored by trace iron and natural radiation. In southern Brazil and Uruguay it grows inside large geodes in volcanic rock, and calcite, a much softer calcium carbonate, often crystallizes later in the same cavities on top of the amethyst points. Calcite is about 3 on the Mohs scale, so it is the more delicate of the two.

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