Amethyst Druzy Calcite

Amethyst Cluster with Druzy Calcite Inclusions

This is a fully natural Uruguayan amethyst cluster—already an incredible specimen on its own—but what makes this one really special is the perfectly formed calcite crystal jutting right out of the amethyst druzy.

• Formation & Growth: Over millions of years, calcium-rich solutions seeped into natural cavities within the amethyst, slowly crystallizing into the beautifully structured calcite cluster you see here. It’s an incredible example of secondary mineral growth.

• Mineral Contrast: The deep purple amethyst crystals provide a perfect backdrop for the translucent, almost glowing calcite, which sits like a frozen burst of crystallization. Collectors highly seek this kind of high-contrast mineral pairing.

• Structure & Clarity: The amethyst itself has sharply defined points with high transparency, while the calcite shows well-developed terminations and a natural druzy coating at its base, anchoring it to the cluster.

• Why It’s Special: Finding calcite and amethyst together isn’t uncommon, but finding a specimen where the calcite has grown so symmetrically and cleanly on top of the druzy surface? That’s a whole different story. This is a collector’s dream—a perfect balance of geological process and aesthetic beauty.
