Extremely Polished Amethyst Cluster

Obviously all geodes are a natural product and come as the are! Having looked at a the ad pic with it's round open cavern I was sorely tempted. Chose a bigger one.I have taken a pic for you to judge for yourselves.

Kann ich zu dem Preis empfehlen. Unser Stein kommt ziemlich nah an das gemachte Foto in der Verkaufsbeschreibung heran und sieht super aus. Für den Preis auch absolut in einer gerechtfertigten Größe. Habe selten Steine in dieser Größe und Qualität für diesen Preis gesehen. Die Ware war oderentlich verpackt und wurde pünktlich geliefert.

good but very small in size. does not seem like a 0.5 lb stone.

Does not look like the product advertised. Just a piece of rock with some amethyst

You basically get what's described. The Amethyst cluster looks great ... and it has that dark purple colour that Uruguayan amethysts are supposedly famous for. It's a beautiful amethyst cluster and everyone who sees it loves it.HOWEVER ... truth is that its a "sort of" manufactured product. You're not getting an individual geode that's been broken open. Instead, you're getting a small portion of a larger geode that's been broken into palm or hand-sized portions ... then stuck onto a concrete backing. The edges have been polished a little and it's well done and looks semi-natural. But it's very clear that the back portion is manufactured. I guess that the major benefit is better consistency and that buyers get a better chunk of amethyst - which is the bit that really counts.The problem is that making customers choose the size by weight is a little disingenuous when maybe 80% of that "weight" is the concrete backing. Maybe determining the various size options could be done by height (giving a size range as they won't be exact) ... but it might be a clearer way of doing things. Other than that gripe, I'm pretty happy with the cluster overall.

So cute! Thanks for your kindness.
