With an ethereal presence and striking visual balance, this exquisite Brazilian Amethyst Geode has been precision-cut, expertly polished, and reimagined as a pair of radiant “butterfly wings” mounted on a custom-crafted steel stand. The result is a breath-taking fusion of natural beauty and refined artistry, where raw geology meets sculptural design.
The wings open to reveal a shimmering expanse of violet and lavender crystals, their rich colouration and sparkling facets capturing and reflecting the light in mesmerising detail. Each half mirrors the other in harmonious symmetry, echoing the grace of butterfly wings while celebrating the organic wonder of the geode’s ancient volcanic origins.
Polished edges highlight the natural contours of the stone, framing the druzy interior like a gemstone landscape. The effect is both delicate and commanding—an interplay of fragility and strength that transforms the geode into a true centrepiece.
Rare in both size and quality, amethyst formations of this calibre are seldom encountered. The depth of colour, density of crystallisation, and symmetry of the specimen elevate it beyond a mineral display into the realm of collectible art.
Whether showcased in a private collection, a gallery setting, or as the focal point of a sophisticated interior, these Amethyst Geode Wings embody timeless elegance, offering a sense of wonder and serenity drawn from the heart of Brazil’s geological treasures.
