Amethyst Table

An amethyst table from Brazil. A flat-cut geode was transformed into a functional piece of furniture; the square tabletop reveals the full mineralization stratigraphy.

The cut surface shows the transition from the outer agate banding through the inner crystal zone to the free cavity. Each layer documents a distinct solution phase of the geode infill in Rio Grande do Sul.

Brazilian deposits provide material in a block size that makes a furniture format possible in the first place. Such geodes are a top rarity in the global market due to their unique discovery.

The low height results in a coffee table or a sideboard element. The balanced square shape makes the piece equally legible from multiple viewing angles.

A museum-quality Brazilian collector's item with gallery-furniture staging and full geological legibility.
