An exquisite and rare amethyst cluster with stalactite formations and calcite crystals. The stunning piece’s shape resembles a “Cascade” or “waterfall”, giving intensity to the crystal color. To further add to its beauty, this piece has calcite crystal “specks” spread on its surface, which adds a particularity to its aesthetic, causing a wonderful sensation of movement and shining glimpses. The edges of the natural sculpture have been polished and reveal a beautiful frame of agate and white quartz. The back of this freestanding piece maintains its rough basalt condition and it is of a wonderful decorative size.
