This collection includes fascinating pieces wonderfully highlighting nature’s skills and encourages one to look closer to discover their complex designs and forms.
Skilfully made by nature, this collection consists of an amethyst geode and a petrified wood specimen.
The slender amethyst piece is beautifully coloured in deep purple, transitioning to deep brown, almost black shades. The minerals are surrounded by a salmon pink and grey layer. A geode is a spherical rock structure with a hollow internal cavity. When opened it reveals a dazzling array of minerals, like the amethyst piece in Mayfair Gallery’s collection. When displayed in sunlight, the minerals inside the rock majestically glimmer adding a dream-like look to the piece and its surroundings.
The second piece in this collection is a petrified wood specimen. Also known as petrified tree, this is a type of fossilised wood. It forms when minerals enter the empty spaces between and within cells of wood. The inside of the specimen looks like the growth rings in a tree, however the outside layer appears like a rock.
The two pieces could act as a home décor piece or would make a wonderful addition to the collection of someone fascinated with the natural world.
