An Amethyst cathedral is a Geode that is typically shaped like a church cathedral. Amethyst is a variety of Quartz that contains a few parts per million of iron. That is why it has the deep purple color you see here. Crystal home decor is a sparking accent to your space. Notice the beautiful white calcite growth within this geode.
Geodes are usually formed in bubbles and other cavities inside of volcanic rock, mainly molten rock that has joined other layers of rock. They can also form in surface lava that is thick, so the process of cooling is slow. Molten lava contains many gases, so as it cools the gases are released and causes the bubbles and cavities in the rock.
This is the process of how this beautiful deep purple Amethyst geode cathedral is made. This piece would make a Great addition to your collection or to display and use as a conversation starter.
