"BUTTERFLY" AMETHYST SCULPTURE
Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Region, Brazil
Like butterfly wings caught in motion, this pair of Amethyst geodes has been suspended on a custom chrome steel mount to give the illusion of a butterfly caught in stone. The geodes have large, deep-purple Amethyst crystals and the edges have been hand-polished to accent the colorful Amethyst and Agate rim. Additionally, the left geode is highlighted by clusters of white Calcite crystals. Both geode halves are in excellent condition and are completely natural, with no cement fill or paint, unlike most of the Amethyst geodes on the market today. Overall measurements are 32 inches wide x 6 inches deep x 48 inches high; each geode half measures 31 ½ x 16 x 5 ½ inches and 31 ½ x 14 x 5 ½ inches respectively. In excellent condition.
