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.
