Description
On a druse piece stands a cactus amethyst surrounded by amethyst crystals. It is often wrongly called a stalactite. What stands out particularly here is the dark colouring of the amethyst crystals, which forms a beautiful contrast with the host rock and the agate lying between them.
Our mineralogist's assessment
Cactus amethyst, which is also called cactus quartz, rarely grows in a form such as this. That makes this specimen not only extraordinary but also very popular.

FAQs
Effect and meaning
Amethyst teaches us devotion and trust in the forces of the universe. Its gentle vibrations convey that kind of restful awareness in which fears, worry and anger dissolve and the mind can open itself to higher experiences.
Use and care
We recommend placing this crystal where you come into contact with it most and it can shine most. This crystal needs light, air and water. It is best cleansed with water from nature and should not stand in the sun for long periods. Amethyst should be cleansed once a week under running water. It can be discharged with halite crystals, and to recharge it, the amethyst should be placed in the light of the full moon overnight.

Managing director and mineralogist
After an accident, Bashkim Asani could no longer continue his work as an interpreter. A friend sent him an elite shungite, and the encounter with this stone changed the way he saw the world. Completely fascinated, he learned more and more about crystals and minerals. Today he leads Mineralienzentrum with two shops and a wide selection of crystals. Most of the assortment comes from the company's own mines, and he selects every piece himself. Very large and rare finds become sculptures and interior pieces.
