Beautiful amethyst double terminated

An amethyst double terminated crystal from Brazil. A crystal with points terminated at both ends, without a growth attachment to the matrix, with a uniform violet coloration and clear hexagonal column geometry.

Double terminated crystals grow freely in the geode solution, without being connected to the geode wall. Both ends are formed as points, and this configuration documents the free movement of the crystal in the solution during growth.

Amethyst double terminated crystals are a deposit-specific collector's characteristic. In the collector's market, they are considered a premium classification compared to standard amethyst points with only one termination.

Amethyst belongs to the quartz family. The violet color results from iron substitutions in the crystal lattice and natural irradiation in the host rock over long geological periods.

Brazilian deposits in Rio Grande do Sul supply this material. The double terminated geometry allows for display in either a horizontal or vertical position.
