Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz found on five continents, usually as geodes within volcanic rock. This gorgeous Uruguayan amethyst geode gets its natural purple color from exposure to radiation, changing the oxidation state of the trace iron within the mineral to change, creating the color centers responsible for the violet hue.
Amethyst is associated with emotional balance, spiritual awareness and protection. This piece has an interesting flower shape, serving as an eye-catching piece of natural decor in your home.
