Chevron Amethyst Butterfly with Stand

Description

This Chevron Amethyst butterfly sculpture showcases the stone’s unique V-shaped banding of purple amethyst and white quartz. Mounted on a stand, it makes a striking focal point for home décor or display.

Origin & Locality
Chevron Amethyst typically forms in hydrothermal veins or cavities within igneous or metamorphic rock. Its distinctive patterns are created through alternating bands of amethyst (with iron coloring) and clear quartz due to fluctuations in fluid chemistry and temperature during crystal growth.

Geology & Formation
Chevron Amethyst results from silica-rich fluids depositing quartz layers over time. Purple hues arise from iron impurities and natural irradiation, while the crisp chevron pattern reflects episodic changes in mineralizing conditions.
