Not all amethyst is purple, and this large druzy cluster is proof.
The crystal bed is a gray toned amethyst druzy, muted and silvery rather than the deep violet most people picture, and one calcite formation rises from the top left corner to interrupt the surface. That contrast between the even sparkle of the druzy and the single larger calcite growth is what makes the piece interesting up close. It is broad and fairly low, so it sits comfortably on a coffee table, a console or a low shelf where light can rake across the crystals. A good choice for a mineral collector who likes understated color, or for a room done in grays, whites and natural wood.
About Amethyst with Calcite
Amethyst is quartz usually colored purple by trace iron and natural radiation. Calcite, calcium carbonate, can grow in the same cavities as amethyst, and at 3 on the Mohs scale it is much softer than quartz.
Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
