Description

Amethyst Geode Pair
Brazil

This decorative book-matched geode pair displays a dense lining of sparkling deep purple Amethyst crystals, each half perfectly complementing the other. The geode has been sliced and polished to reveal the natural crystal-lined cavity, transforming a geological formation into a visually striking mineral display. The name amethyst derives from the Greek 'amethystos,' meaning "not intoxicated," as the stone was believed in antiquity to protect its wearer from drunkenness. A classic and elegant presentation of one of nature's most admired minerals, valued for both its beauty and historical symbolism.
