Amethyst Geode/Cluster Slice

The item is an amethyst geode slice or cluster, displaying individual amethyst crystals radiating from a common base. The overall shape is irregular and organic, characteristic of natural mineral formations. The amethyst crystals exhibit various shades of purple, ranging from a deeper, more saturated violet in some areas to lighter, almost translucent lavender in others, with some individual crystal points showing excellent clarity and a vibrant hue. The crystal terminations appear well-formed and generally sharp, indicating good quality growth. The base of the specimen is composed of a lighter, greyish-white matrix, likely quartz or another common host rock, which provides structural support for the amethyst crystals. A measuring tape is visible at the bottom of the image, indicating the piece is approximately 10 to 11 inches (or around 25-28 cm) in length, suggesting a substantial size for an amethyst cluster. No obvious signs of repairs or significant damage are present on the visible surfaces, although natural fissures or minor chips typical of mineral extraction and handling may exist. The piece appears to be in good, unaltered condition, showcasing its natural beauty. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures, which is common for natural mineral specimens. Based on its natural formation, it can be estimated to be of a natural, geological age, while the specimen itself would be considered contemporary in terms of its presentation as a display piece. The quality of the crystal formation, color saturation, and clarity indicate a good quality specimen, suitable for a collection or decorative use.
