Amethyst Crystal Cluster with Calcite Formation - 3.5 Inch Specimen

Small enough to hold in one hand, this amethyst cluster carries a calcite formation alongside its purple quartz points.

Having two minerals in one piece makes it more interesting than a plain amethyst cluster at the same size. At about 3.5 inches, it fits a windowsill, a desk corner or a small display shelf, and it is light enough to pick up and study the crystals. It is a thoughtful starter specimen for someone new to minerals or a February birthday gift, since amethyst is the February birthstone. Check the photos to see where the calcite sits on the amethyst. This is the exact specimen shown.

The specimen is about 3.5 by 3 inches. Look at the in hand photo for scale.

About Amethyst with Calcite

Amethyst is purple quartz colored by trace iron and natural radiation. Calcite, calcium carbonate, often crystallizes later in the same geode pockets, leaving calcite crystals perched on the purple points. Calcite is much softer than quartz, 3 on the Mohs scale, so those areas deserve gentler handling.

Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
