The outer surface shows dark grey, smoky brown, white, and translucent banding, while the open center is lined with pale lavender Amethyst and clear to milky quartz crystals. The cavity runs deep into the sphere and contains a mix of small druzy crystals and larger pointed terminations. Natural pits, small inclusions, and uneven crystal edges are present throughout, which are normal features of a carved geode sphere.\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.
