This is a big amethyst cluster in every sense, from its overall footprint to the size of the individual crystals.
Big, well formed purple points cover the face, and the sides have been polished, so the piece looks finished from every angle instead of rough at the edges. It has the weight and footprint to hold a coffee table, a console or an entry table by itself, and it is heavy enough that it will stay exactly where you place it. For someone who has collected small amethyst for years and wants one major piece, this is the step up.
About Amethyst Clusters
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, colored by trace iron exposed to natural radiation, and it is hard enough to sit out on open display. Large clusters come from geodes in volcanic rock; Artigas, Uruguay and the neighboring Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul are among the world's largest producers.
Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
Good to Know
- Large clusters show their color best with light from the front or side; a window with indirect light or a lamp aimed at the crystal face works well.
- Dust the points with a soft, dry brush; water is fine for amethyst, but dry it before setting it back on wood.
