Most amethyst cathedrals need a spot on the floor; this one is happy on a tabletop.
This mini cathedral keeps the upright geode shape with its purple crystal cavity facing out, in a size that fits a desk, a dresser or a bookshelf. What sets it apart are the apophyllite crystals among the amethyst points, a second mineral that adds glassy contrast to the purple and makes the piece more interesting to a collector. Set it where a lamp lights the opening and the cavity shows its depth. It makes a good February birthday gift, and it gives an amethyst lover something a step beyond a plain cluster.
About Amethyst with Apophyllite
An amethyst cathedral is a tall section of a geode, cut so it stands upright with its crystal lined hollow facing out, and large amethyst geodes come mainly from Brazil and Uruguay. Apophyllite is a separate mineral that forms as a secondary mineral in cavities in volcanic rock, the same setting where these geodes grow.
Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
