Intriguing Amethyst Stalactite Slice

A stalactite begins with drops of minerals-enriched water, formed on cave ceilings. As the mineral-loaded water drips over thousands of years it leaves behind a thin ring of calcite. The dripping water forms rings of minerals resulting in these unique formations.

This slice exhibits a delicate balance of white quartz peaks with a center of earth-tone agate red and pink jasper bands and other colors due to the various mineral components.

Stalactite slices are presented in a classy box with a clear, fitting stand.
