They are agate and chalcedony nodules, and only some contain a little pale amethyst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe nodules formed in cavities in Triassic volcanic rock, and some still carry a dark green-grey crust of that rock. A study in GIA's Gems \u0026amp; Gemology (Fall 2013) found that the pink outer rim of Sidi Rahal nodules is opal-CT, a poorly crystalline form of silica. The red to red-brown layer gets its colour from the iron oxides hematite and goethite, and the core is chalcedony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTrue amethyst is quartz coloured purple by traces of iron combined with natural radiation. Where it appears in these geodes, it forms a pale lilac druse over the pink and red chalcedony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach geode has a red agate rim and pink-red botryoidal chalcedony, some with pale amethyst druse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn crystal traditions, pink amethyst is associated with intuition and a gentle, nurturing energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e: SiO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChakra\u003c\/b\u003e: Higher Heart, Crown and Third Eye\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate size (1 piece)\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eMetric: Height 6 cm · Width 5 cm · Depth 4 cm\u003cbr\u003eImperial: Height 2.4 in · Width 2 in · Depth 1.6 in\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 100g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
