This is an incredibly beautiful old material from Brazil that is Cacoxenite in Amethyst. The Cacoxenite (Hydrated Iron Aluminum Phosphate Oxide Hydroxide) is a needle like golden fiber inside the Amethyst which helps to bring a metaphysical “spiritual awakening”, promoting new ideas and understanding. It is also said to aid us in seeing the positive and benevolent sides of life.

The interesting part of this stone is the needle like fibers form tree like formations give it a surreal landscaping effect. Watch for our polished faces of this stone which make for a eye catching display. We will be posting polished face display pieces along with more cabs, have a look in our store.
