 Polished Amethyst Stalactite Slices Every last one of these is unique! These are slabs taken from stalactites that form inside of large geodes from Uruguay. The geodes are usually mined for their amethyst crystals, only some have stalactites inside. The stalactites are quite rare. What is inside of the stalactites is always a mystery, as they form with different minerals and under various conditions resulting in very different configurations (see picture). All of these slices have been polished on both sides, as far to the end of the tips as possible. As these slices are completely natural and unstabilized, the crystals are very loosely connected to the center and must be treated with care as they are more fragile than other large crystal pieces.   Unit for sale: 7 individual slices - you get exactly the sheet shown in our picture! Mined and made in Uruguay.   More sheets in different sizes available!
