Most amethyst comes as clusters and geodes, so a stalactite freeform like this one stands out on a shelf.
This one has been given a flat cut base so it stands upright, with the rough brown outer stone left on the back and a polished edge framing the purple crystal. It is a strong choice for a collector who already owns a cluster or a geode and wants a different form of amethyst, and it fits comfortably on a bookshelf or a nightstand.
About Amethyst Stalactites
Amethyst stalactites form inside geodes in volcanic basalt, as mineral rich water drips and leaves layer after layer of chalcedony and amethyst around a central core. Cutting or polishing one shows those concentric growth rings, much as a tree trunk shows its rings. The mines near Artigas, Uruguay are especially well known for them.
Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
