Top Quality Amethyst Sphere - First Choise Mineral...

Stunning Amethyst sphere from Brazil. Amethyst is a mineral that belongs to the macro-crystalline quartz family with a characteristic purple 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 deep purple color inside the geode that 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 against a beautiful maiden named Amethyst, indeed, a ferocious beast; 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 finest wine over the petrified girl, who avidly absorbed this divine nectar until it took on the coloration we know today.
