This exceptional untreated amethyst druzy stalactite cluster from Brazil is a striking and unique medium-sized specimen, weighing approximately 1.5 kg and measuring around 18 x 12 x 8 cm. What makes this piece truly special is its rare combination of lavender-hued amethyst crystals and natural goethite inclusions, all preserved in a beautifully organic stalactite growth form.
The soft lavender color of the amethyst offers a calming visual appeal, while the goethite inclusions—dark, metallic accents embedded within the quartz—add visual complexity and mineralogical significance. The druzy surface shimmers with hundreds of microcrystals, giving the entire piece a captivating sparkle under light. Its natural form is both balanced and eye-catching, making it perfect for collectors who appreciate raw, naturally formed mineral combinations.
This specimen has not been polished, dyed, or treated in any way—allowing the natural interplay between quartz (SiO₂) and iron oxide-based goethite (FeO(OH)) to shine through, both chemically and aesthetically.
