BEAUTIFUL BLACK GALAXY WITH DRUZE SURROUNDED BY AGATE ON METAL STAND

A truly rare and beautiful piece, this formation is comprised of stunning black ‘galaxy’ amethyst with stalactite formations. The polished edges of the formation reveal a dramatic arrangement of green celadonite, grey agate and a mix of jaspers such as orange, pink and yellow. All the above perfectly frame the intense black amethyst, overlaid by several layers of white quartz, creating a sparkling effect. The piece is enhanced with multiple stalactite formations, overlaid with white quartz, giving the impression of movement. Some stalactites have been polished at the top, revealing the minerals underneath and a beautiful colour fusion. The back of the piece maintains its rough basalt condition allowing us to imagine how the piece was spotted and formed inside the cavities of volcanic rock millions of years ago. The formation in its entirety is artfully displayed upon a custom metal stand and has a very decorative quality. Despite its extreme popularity, black ‘galaxy’ amethyst is incredibly rare to find, and notoriously difficult to mine from the depths of the Earth.
