AMETHYST stalactite slice (Uruguay) – 15 g
PUMI2729
This slice comes from the core of an AMETHYST stalactite formed inside a volcanic cavity in Uruguay. The white ring corresponds to QUARTZ, the first mineral to crystallize before the amethyst developed its violet tips outward.
Its radiating structure reflects the dynamics of mineral growth, from the center to the edges, shaped by subtle chemical variations over time.
Mounted on a rotating brass stand, this natural curiosity seems to float in space — halfway between collection specimen and object of study, equally at home in a cabinet of curiosities or on an astronomer’s desk.
