While most people buy amethyst for home, an Amethyst Cave Geode is also really great support of the business environment. This is especially after any difficulties (or even trauma) that the work place may have experienced. It then aids recovery and bonding so the group can step forward with renewed hope and success.
This amethyst cathedral cave is very even all over – in shape, thickness of crust and in colour. It looks even better in person. Really impresses in a reception area or where a group gathers. Some photos were done on a cloudy day near an open door (which is NOT where you should place amethyst as it fades).
And it will be free shipped with Pack N Send boxing it and couriering within Australia unless you live in a remote place where shipping costs are prohibitive. We will discuss with this you in the rare event this occurs.
Here is how is are the geodes are graded into one of 16 classifications:
- Colour of the purple points – grey colour, up to a good strong purple
- Clarity of points – clear, down to foggy even opaque
- Depth of colour – purple is only on the top or the point, up to colour is all the way to the root.
- Inclusions – are the inclusions “zero, to inclusions but are interesting, down to inclusions make the cave unappealing.
- Cave face – cave has an open mouth, down to mouth is non existent
- Cave shape – this doesn’t seem to affect price as every shape appeals to any one.
This amethyst cave is a nice A grade piece – “traditional” cave – in terms of size, points size, colour… You are getting a quality piece – good colour, clarity and shape. Its at least two grades higher than many others being sold elsewhere in the market place. It also has couple of clusters of calcite and a sprinkling on them of black possibly cacoxenite.
Calcite adds its cleansing, balancing and creative energies to the mix. While agate adds steadfastness, strength and courage. You can see this cave even better in this video done in the full Australian sun outside the shop and here is another one done inside the shop.
If you require delivery, you must read here about shipping costs as the system cannot handle correctly. It is NOT free shipped.
Recent efforts (Dec 2022) to buy new caves have shown the quality is terrible and the prices have shot up. We are not replacing amethyst caves unless we can find reasonable quality – it took visits to 4 suppliers before I found even one of OK quality to buy. This cave is still old pricing.
