Description

Geode Half — Radial Quartz, Amethyst Center, 14 lbs 

Somewhere inside solid rock, a hollow space existed for millions of years. Mineral-rich water found it, seeped in, and left itself behind — crystal by crystal — until the void was filled with this: a dense field of white quartz growing inward from every direction at once, converging on a central pocket of pale lavender amethyst. The pattern it made in doing so is a perfect radial burst, every crystal oriented toward the same invisible center, the whole interior face reading like a frozen moment of natural geometry that no human hand arranged.

The reverse tells a different story. The rear is cut flat, now visible on the rear is translucent grey quartz. The piece is self-standing and needs nothing added to it.


CONDITION

Good. The quartz field is intact throughout with strong vitreous luster and no damage. The amethyst center pocket shows minor natural abrasion consistent with the open-cavity environment.
