The largest of this group of Aurangabad geodes, lined with transparent, deep purple amethyst. The crystals show strong, saturated color and good luster throughout the cavity, and at nearly 2.4 kg the geode has a solid, weighty feel.
Amethyst geodes from the Deccan Traps formed in gas cavities within the basalt, where silica-rich fluids deposited quartz over long periods; trace iron and natural irradiation create the purple. This large cabinet geode is in good condition and offers an excellent display of dark purple Indian amethyst, collected in 2021.
