£ 16.80
AMETHYST ANGEL – NATURAL PURPLE QUARTZ CARVED CRYSTAL FIGUREThis Amethyst Angel is a genuine natural quartz specimen carved into a
beautifully detailed angelic figure. Carefully selected for its rich purple colour and polished finish, this piece highlights the natural beauty of Amethyst shaped into a symbolic ornamental form. The photograph shows the exact specimen you will receive. Please refer to the listing images for full sizing and proportions.This crystal is a genuine specimen and includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card. MINERAL TYPE & SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATIONAmethyst is a purple variety of Quartz, composed of Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂). It belongs to the Quartz mineral group and crystallises in the trigonal crystal system. Natural quartz crystals typically form as six-sided prisms with pyramidal terminations, though this piece has been carved from a larger naturally formed specimen.The characteristic purple colour of Amethyst is caused by trace amounts of iron within the crystal lattice, combined with natural irradiation over geological time. Colour intensity can range from pale lilac to deep violet, sometimes displaying subtle zoning or variations within the stone.With a Mohs hardness of 7, Amethyst is durable and suitable for detailed carving and polishing. COLOUR, CLARITY & SURFACE CHARACTERISTICSThis Amethyst Angel may display:• Light to deep purple tones• Translucent to semi-transparent clarity• Natural internal inclusions or growth lines• Vitreous (glassy) lustre• Smooth, polished finishNatural Amethyst often contains internal features such as colour banding, faint veils, or inclusions formed during crystal growth. These characteristics are part of the stone’s geological development and make each piece unique.Under light, the polished surfaces enhance the depth of colour and internal structure. GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONAmethyst forms in a variety of geological environments, most commonly within volcanic rock cavities (geodes) and hydrothermal veins. Silica-rich fluids gradually crystallise within open spaces, allowing quartz crystals to grow over extended geological periods.Major deposits are found in regions such as Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, and Madagascar. The material used for this angel carving has been cut and polished from naturally formed Amethyst quartz. ANGEL CARVING & TRADITIONAL ASSOCIATIONSThe angel form features carved wings and a defined silhouette, shaped from solid Amethyst and polished to a refined finish. This sculptural style combines natural mineral beauty with symbolic design.Amethyst has been traditionally associated in spiritual symbolism with calmness and clarity, while angel figures are often culturally linked to guidance and protection. These interpretations are symbolic and cultural rather than scientific.This Amethyst Angel is suitable for:• Mineral and crystal collections• Decorative home or office display• Spiritual or symbolic décor• Thoughtful gemstone gifts• Collectors of carved mineral figures AUTHENTICITY & INDIVIDUAL SELECTION• Genuine Amethyst (Quartz – SiO₂)• Mineral group: Quartz• Crystal system: Trigonal• Hardness: Mohs 7• Carved and polished angel figure• Exact specimen shown in photographs• Includes Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic cardCarved from naturally formed purple quartz and polished to highlight its colour and internal structure, this Amethyst Angel offers a distinctive mineral sculpture ideal for collectors and decorative display.
