Colors fuse together in this uniquely beautiful piece, presenting the viewer with a small geode polished in the round. At the heart of the piece we can see intense deep purple amethyst crystals with an impressive peak size, surrounded by a white quartz layer. The contrast between the white quartz and the deep purple is spectacular, making the amethyst crystals stand out. The frame of the amethyst formation is composed of a fusion of blue/grey agate and green celadonite, making the piece spectacular. At the back of the piece the white quartz is the main character, accompanied by some glimpses of the agate and celadonite. Also, it’s possible to perceive some traces of the rough basalt. The smooth stone enables us to appreciate all the layers of the different mineral formations and contrasts beautifully with the peaked crystals. A freestanding stunning piece of a very decorative size.
