What sets amethyst with jasper apart from a plain amethyst geode?
Contrast. The purple crystals sit with opaque jasper, so this slab has a second tone that a pure amethyst piece lacks. It is semi polished, which means part of the surface is smoothed and part keeps its natural crystal. At about 22 by 18.5 inches and 8.5 inches deep it has a solid, substantial build, and the metal stand keeps it upright. Try it on a hall table, at a spa reception, on a wide office bookcase or on a stone hearth. For someone born in February, it is a birthstone gift on a grand scale. You will receive this exact amethyst and jasper slab.
Expect about 22 by 18.5 by 8.5 inches.
About Amethyst and Jasper
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, colored by trace iron exposed to natural radiation, and it is the modern birthstone for February. Jasper is an opaque, fine grained variety of silica whose red and brown tones come from iron. In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and neighboring Artigas, Uruguay, amethyst forms in large geodes within volcanic rock.
Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
