The opening is lined with clear to pale lavender quartz and Amethyst crystals, with darker purple crystals visible farther inside. Small orange-red iron oxide staining appears on several crystal points near the opening, adding natural colour variation. The polished exterior shows broad banding, darker smoky sections, fine natural seams, and a high-gloss finish, while the exposed cavity keeps the rough crystal structure intact.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is the purple variety of quartz, with its colour generally caused by trace iron and natural irradiation within the crystal structure. Brazil is one of the world’s largest sources of Amethyst, especially from geode-bearing basalt deposits in Rio Grande do Sul. Large geodes from this region are commonly cut, shaped, and polished into spheres, cathedrals, freeforms, and display specimens while leaving part of the natural crystal pocket exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmethyst is commonly associated with calm, clear thinking, rest, meditation, and emotional balance. Agate is often connected with stability and grounding. These are traditional spiritual beliefs rather than scientifically proven properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith this product, you will get the actual stone in the photograph.
