Amethyst Geode Half

This item is an amethyst geode half, approximately oval to somewhat irregular in shape, with an open cavity revealing crystalline structures. The exterior of the geode is rough and unpolished, showcasing the natural rock matrix, which appears to be a greyish-brown to earthy tone, possibly basalt or limestone, with specks of lighter mineral inclusions or possibly some oxidation exhibiting a subtle golden or yellowish hue in areas. The interior cavity is lined with numerous small to medium-sized quartz crystals. While the crystals exhibit a generally light purple (amethyst) color, some areas appear darker or more greyish, possibly due to lighting, mineral impurities, or variations in crystal growth. There is a prominent clump of darker, more densely packed crystals visible on one side of the cavity. The crystals are somewhat druzy in nature, meaning they are finely crystallized and closely spaced, creating a sparkling effect. No obvious major breakage, repairs, or significant wear is discernible from the image, suggesting it is in its natural state post-splitting. The specimen appears robust and geological in origin, with no visible manufacturing marks or signs of artificial treatment. Its estimated age would be geological, formed over millions of years. This specimen displays qualities typical of natural mineral formations, valued for its aesthetic appeal and geological interest.
