A stunning geode slice on a custom metal rotating stand. From the rough basalt on the outside, to the rich purple amethyst crystals inside and calcite formation, this piece presents an exquisite combination of minerals on a sculptural journey. The outer layer is the original basalt, now smoothed, and the edges are all polished revelling agate and white quartz. All of this frames the very deep purple amethyst formation, with high peaks and glimmering crystals. The interior face of the slice further reveals a beautiful calcite formation resembling a flower. The natural wonders encompassed here can be fully appreciated by the rotating nature of its stand - showing all the layers and minerals involved in a geode. This stunning piece its very decorative and it’s on a custom rotating metal stand.
