GEODE HEARTS

Skilled artisans in Brazil cut rough crystals with diamond tools, then carefully grind, shape, sand, and polish each piece by hand. This process reveals the stone’s natural color and patterns while creating hearts, animals, spheres, and other decorative shapes. Because every crystal is naturally unique, no two finished pieces are exactly alike.

Cleaning an Amethyst geode is relatively simple. They like water but you don't need to clean it with water often. The goal is to remove dust and grime while preserving the natural luster.

For regular dusting (Recommended):

• Use a soft paintbrush or makeup brush to gently remove dust between the crystal points.
• Compressed air (used lightly) also works well for hard-to-reach areas.
• Finish with a microfiber cloth on the polished edges or base.
  

For a deeper cleaning:

1. Fill a bucket or sink with lukewarm water.
2. Add a few drops of mild dish soap.
3. Gently scrub the crystals using a soft toothbrush or soft detailing brush.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. We suggest a spay bottle with clean water.
5. Allow the geode to air dry completely, or use a microfiber towel to remove excess water.

How often to clean?

If the piece is in a home, every 2-3 months is usually enough.

In a high traffic area, perhaps dusting once a month will keep the crystals sparkling.

Amethyst quality can be subjective as many variables can play a role in determining a geode value. Qualities you should consider when shopping for an amethyst cathedral are (not in any particular order):

• Deeper violet colors
• Clarity of crystals
• Shape of points
• Size of points
• Shape of overall cathedral
• Calcite and mineral formations/inclusions
• Agate stone bands in the outer edges
• General beauty and uniqueness

The more of these qualities an Amethyst possesses the more valuable it can be. Our Amethyst cathedral geodes for sale are top-quality and sure to impress.

The great majority of Cathedral-shaped Amethyst comes from mines in South Brazil.

At Brazil Gems®, we clearly identify our Citrine so you know exactly what you're purchasing.

Most of the Citrine available on today's market, including much of the material mined in Brazil, is created by heating natural Amethyst. This process brings out the beautiful golden-yellow to amber colors that customers associate with Citrine.

Heat treatment does not make the crystal fake. It remains a genuine quartz crystal formed by nature, with only its color altered through heat. Whenever applicable, we disclose whether a piece is natural Citrine or heat-treated Citrine in the product description.

Our Citrine is sourced from Brazil, one of the world's most respected sources of quartz crystals.

We work directly with trusted Brazilian suppliers and carefully select pieces for their quality, color, and craftsmanship. Our long-standing relationships allow us to offer exceptional Brazilian Citrine piece that will elevate your home decor.
