Geode Amethyst Sphere - First Choise Mineral - Height...

A stunning Amethyst sphere from Brazil. Amethyst is a mineral that belongs to the macro-crystalline quartz family with a characteristic violet color that can vary from crystal to crystal depending on quality and origin. In this marvelous sphere we can notice the size and perfection of the crystals left intact by master artisans as well as the intense violet color inside the geode, which shows the very high quality of the mineral. A Greek legend tells of the formation of the amethyst crystal due to the anger of the god Bacchus, who hurled a fierce beast at a beautiful maiden named Amethyst, namely; the maiden asked the goddess Diana for help, who saw no other way to save her than to petrify her. Bacchus then decided to pour his best wine over the petrified girl, who eagerly absorbed this divine nectar until she took on the coloration we know today.
