Natural Colored Amethyst Drusy



It is a rare and unique occurrence with Amethyst, but it does happen and when it does there is no other beauty like it. I am talking about the most spectacular all naturally colored amethyst drusy. 
 
The color spectrum ranges from light rose, pink, purple, pale gray, cream, and blue to medium rust, yellow, orchid, and pink to deep green, brown and dark purple colors and everything in between. 

There are 'bubble' and cactus formations, drusy and larger crystals.  All have been left in their 'earth' form, untouched, with just a few having the outter rim polished and the outside is all smooth.



It all starts in a premier mine in Uruguay, where some of the world's most sought after, highest quality amethyst comes from. 

  

 
Among the deep dark purple amethyst is a natural color in different shades; this is caused by the reflection of the jasper beneath the quartz crystal and the result is some of the unique, breathtaking drusy colors of amethyst you will ever see.





Visit our store, TimelessDesigns online at Ruby Lane to browse and shop our selection of the finest naturally colored drusy amethyst. There you will find mounted pendants (wire wrapped pendant to be released in the Fall, 2012), jewelry sets and collector specimens. 


Later this fall we will have amazing amethyst drusy geode jewelry boxes, more pendants & jewelry sets and larger collector specimens!

Trilobite Fossils



Trilobite or Proteus Granulosus are similar to the horseshoe crab, Trilobites – meaning 3 lobes – lived from 550 to 200 million years ago in the Cambrian, Paleozonic, and Devonian seas.





There are hundreds of species of Trilobites, but they are most closely related to the chelicerates, which include the horseshoe crabs and spiders.

They are now all extinct, but their fossil remains are found in many places in the U.S and worldwide. Some, in the Canadian Rockies, have been found as large as 2 ½ feet in length.

Natural Framed Butterflies





A little something for the collector or home decor; Peruvian butterfly frames. These beautiful frames feature real butterflies raised on farms in the Amazon Jungle. Each frame features a collection of butterflies and/or moths; each labeled with their scientific names by a licensed biologist in Peru.  

The frames look best displayed with natural light but it is recommended that they are kept out of direct sunlight. See a selection of these butterflies and moths at our online shop along with other collectibles of nature; fossils, minerals and rocks!

Raw Mineral Wired Pendants


In Tucson I found these amazing drusy pendants in black amethyst and lavender drusy quartz minerals. They are so incredible, the drusy just sparkles and they very lovely done in various wired colors. I have hand wire wrapped a few of them; a couple have been left as an individual pendant to wear on different types of collars, cords or chains and the a few others have been incorporated into necklace sets.



Amethyst is a type of quartz that has taken on a violet or purple coloration due to trace impurities of iron and aluminum. The exact hue and depth varies depending on its source. It can be found in many parts of the world, the best quality specimens tend to come from Uruguay, Brazil, or southern Africa. It is often found lining the insides of geodes, especially those composed of agate; these are hollow, often spherical rock structures. 






These pendants are black amethyst from Uruguay, hand wired in non-tarnish silver wire. Their colors vary, from deep black to a mix of black and purple; the crystals really sparkle in the sunlight.













This necklace features a center pendant of lavender drusy quartz; hand wire wrapped in rose colored non-tarnish wire. 

 The necklace also features bronzite, light amethyst faceted stones and lampwork beads and crystals. It is a most unique piece and one-of-a-kind that is a little bit bold with a mix of chic style.

The necklace strands are finished with square pink aventurine stones, cloisonne beads and more faceted crystals in several sizes, shapes and shades of pink.
