The polished circumference reveals a cross-section of densely packed violet crystal points at their most vivid, framed by the natural basalt matrix in which they formed. This is a piece that commands attention on a shelf, desk, or mantle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePhysical Properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amethyst (SiO₂ — Silicon Dioxide, variety of Quartz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 Mohs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trigonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLustre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitreous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransparency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent to translucent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep violet to purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGeology \u0026amp; Formation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazilian amethyst forms within ancient volcanic basalt geodes, where silica-rich hydrothermal fluids infiltrate cavities and cool slowly over millions of years. Trace iron within the silica lattice, combined with natural irradiation, produces the characteristic violet colour. The polished face on this specimen exposes the interior crystal growth in full, offering a window into a formation process that began long before recorded history. Brazil remains one of the world's most celebrated amethyst sources, known for large, well-formed geodes with exceptional crystal density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCrystal Properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection\u003c\/strong\u003e — said to create a shield of spiritual light around the body and environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurification\u003c\/strong\u003e — traditionally used to cleanse the energy of a space and promote calm clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntuition\u003c\/strong\u003e — associated with the third eye chakra; believed to strengthen inner wisdom and higher guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleep \u0026amp; Stress\u003c\/strong\u003e — widely regarded as one of the most supportive crystals for restful sleep and anxiety relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.27kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cluster with polished face, presented on metal stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Rock \u0026 Fossil Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54702878294349,"sku":"YSPJS","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/0120\/7117\/files\/Amethyst_Cluster_On_Metal_Stand_Polished_Face_1_YSPJS.jpg?v=1788979613","url":"https:\/\/www.rockandfossilshop.co.uk\/products\/amethyst-cluster-with-polished-face-on-metal-stand","provider":"The Rock \u0026 Fossil Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
