A museum-sized pair of amethyst geode halves with calcite, from Aurangabad. Closed, the geode looks plain; opened, both halves show a chamber fully lined with sparkling purple amethyst, with calcite accenting the interior.
The cut edges show a band of white, translucent quartz beneath the purple crystals. Amethyst geodes form when silica-rich fluids fill gas cavities in the Deccan basalt lava flows, and the purple color comes from traces of iron combined with natural irradiation. Aurangabad district is one of India's steadier sources of well-colored geodes.
At more than 14 lb and over 25 cm across, this is a large statement piece.
