Stalactite Slices

Stalactites can be found in caves all around the world, but Amethyst Stalactites are much more rare.  Stalactites are formed from mineral rich water dropping from cave ceilings.  The drops leave behind a small ring formation, and after millions of years these rings build up into stalactites.  Agate forms in the middle of the stalactite in various colors with the crystals developing around the agate.  When the stalactites are sliced open the cross section of the growth is revealed.  The Gem Shop has a new selection of Amethyst and Quartz Stalactite Slices.  These slices are great pieces for jewelry making or to show off million of years of geologic history!  Discover this unique mineral formation:
