Description
**Originally Listed At $300**
South America, Bolivia, millions and millions of years old. A gorgeous circular section of amethyst (purple quartz) with large, pale-yellow quartz inclusions from the interior lining of a large geode. Geodes form from hollow bubbles inside a layer of rocks. Rain or other water sources falling on the exterior of the rock cause the elements within it to flow into the bubbles which form beautiful crystals like these within. Trace variations in mineral content, especially iron, magnesium, or copper, can have significant effects. The purple hue of amethyst crystals comes from iron in silicate. Size: 6.25" W x 5.5" H (15.9 cm x 14 cm).
Provenance: ex-private Barios collection, Bolivia
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
