{"product_id":"amethyst-geode-half-with-blue-agate","title":"Amethyst Geode Half With Blue Agate - 7.4 x 4.3 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eTall and narrow, this Amethyst Geode Half opens as a slender arch with lavender and white layers running almost the full height of the cavity. The Amethyst here is banded rather than pocketed, alternating pale violet and near-white in horizontal sweeps that follow the contour of the opening, so the crystal reads as a continuous column instead of a single concentrated bed. A dark Banded Agate rim wraps the outside in a thin, tight border. The base is cut flat and the whole piece stands upright with a pronounced vertical lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmethyst carries a long association with intuition, spiritual awareness, and settling a busy mind, and narrow upright pieces are typically placed where their height reads against a plain wall or in a corner rather than competing on a crowded surface. This one suits a bookshelf, entry table, or the end of a mantel. People commonly keep a piece of this shape within daily sight-lines rather than in a dedicated display position, and its slim footprint makes it workable in spaces where a wider geode would not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Intuition \u0026amp; Spiritual Awareness\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Third Eye, Crown\u003cbr\u003eBirthstone: February\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Pisces, Aquarius\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Goat\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Jupiter\u003cbr\u003eElements: Air, Water\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Amethyst, Banded Agate matrix\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Brazil\u003cbr\u003eForm: Geode \/ Cluster\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 187 mm (7.4 inches) H x 108 mm (4.3 inches) W\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 1329 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmethyst is quartz, silicon dioxide at Mohs 7, trigonal, coloured purple by iron impurities and natural irradiation within the lattice. The banded appearance of the crystal across this piece reflects changing conditions during growth, with iron availability and fluid chemistry shifting over time and recording those shifts as alternating pale and deeper layers through the crystal bed. The outer shell is Banded Agate, the foundational agate form, built from microcrystalline quartz laid down in successive silica layers of varying trace mineral content, each band marking a separate deposition event as fluids filled the cavity in the host rock. Agate is one of the most widely distributed minerals on Earth and was named by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus after the Achates River in Sicily. Brazil is this piece's source, among the principal Amethyst localities that also include Uruguay, Zambia, Madagascar, Russia, South Korea, and Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
