- Lot Description
South America, Argentina, Patagonia, ca. millions of years old. This is a stunning and rare natural pink amethyst slab that is cut and polished as a superb display piece! This geologic creation has a rich salmon and pale pink tones sounded by swirls and striations of creamy earthen tones in ochre and beige. The forward-facing planar surface is polished but contains cavities (vugs) and fissures to show off the amazing crystalline structures within the matrix. Not to be confused with rose quartz - since quartz does not form these pointed structures - pink amethyst is much rarer than the deep purple amethyst we usually see! Pink occurs when hematite (iron oxide) is present in the crystalline formation. Only recently was this variety of amethyst was discovered in Patagonia! This softer hue is often associated with calmness and understanding energies. Size: 9" L x 1" W x 13.5" H (22.9 cm x 2.5 cm x 34.3 cm); 14.25" H (36.2 cm) on included custom stand.
