Pretty lilac amethyst geode with agate eye in metal stand

A lilac amethyst geode from Brazil with an agate eye, in a metal stand. The delicate lavender coloring covers the interior tips, a concentrically banded agate eye sits at the edge like its own mineralization core.

The lilac hue indicates a lower iron concentration than in typical deep violet amethysts. The color is lighter and more delicate, a classification of its own within the amethyst family.

The agate eye is a concentrically ringed microcrystal aggregate. Such eyes form when early mineralization phases grow radially-concentrically around a nucleation point.

The metal stand secures the geode in an optimal viewing position. Brazilian workshops have been using such stand mounts for compact geodes for decades.
