Visual Characteristics

• Schiller & Labradorescence: The specimen showcases a strong, dynamic flash of color striking across the center. It shifts beautifully from a deep, electric blue to shimmering teal and subtle golden-green highlights.

• Internal Structure: Typical of high-quality natural feldspar minerals, the stone displays distinct internal twinning planes, fine fractures, and linear veining that catch the light at different angles. A tiny, glittering patch of multi-colored “rainbow” inclusions is visible near the bottom-left edge, adding unique character to the piece.

• Base Color: When out of the direct light, the body of the stone settles into a rich, mottled grayish-green and charcoal base.

• Finish: The stone is polished to a smooth, high-gloss luster across its gently domed surface, maximizing its optical flash.

Showcase a striking example of natural mineral growth with this polished 60mm Chevron Amethyst Oval. Expertly carved and buffed to a glossy, glass-like finish, this substantial palm stone is an excellent piece for mineral collections, educational displays, or as a smooth, tactile pocket stone.

Geologically known as Chevron or Banded Amethyst, this specimen is a natural combination of deep purple amethyst and white macrocrystalline quartz. It is characterized by its prominent, V-shaped “chevron” growth lines, which trace the crystalline development of the quartz layers over millions of years.

Product Highlights

• Distinct Geological Banding: The stone features sharp, alternating layers of translucent royal purple and opaque creamy-white quartz, meeting in distinct angular lines across the polished face.

• Premium High-Gloss Polish: The surface has been buffed to a professional mirror finish, enhancing the natural depth of the crystal while keeping the stone completely cool and ultra-smooth to the touch.

• Substantial 60mm Size: This specimen fits comfortably into the palm of the hand, providing a satisfying weight and surface area for inspecting the internal crystalline structures.

• 100% Natural Coloration: The rich purple hues are completely organic, caused by natural irradiation and iron impurities present during the quartz’s formation deep within the earth.

Add a striking, geologically rich specimen to your collection. Expertly shaped and buffed to a magnificent luster, this 60mm Swazi Bloodstone Oval is a substantial, highly tactile palm stone. Crafted from authentic Southern African material, its smoothly contoured shape makes it an exceptional focal piece for mineral displays, paperweights, or as a smooth pocket stone.

Geologically, Swazi Bloodstone is a tough, dense variety of the chalcedony/quartz family. It is distinct for its dramatic, high-contrast landscape—featuring bold, opaque bands and brecciated pockets of iron-rich red jasper embedded within a varied matrix of deep forest-green silicate minerals, charcoal grays, and translucent crystalline quartz veins.
