It is 79.7 pounds of Bolivian cluster measuring 18 by 14 by 13 inches — a piece that arrives on a pallet, not in a padded envelope, and that decides for itself where the centre of a room is once you put it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolivian amethyst is prized for the depth of its violet and the way whole faces of the cluster catch light at once rather than glinting point by point. Specimen #2526 is a single piece. There is no second one, no assorted sizes, no variant to choose — what you see photographed is what leaves the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle specimen: Bolivian amethyst cluster #2526\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e79.7 lb (36.15 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\" x 14\" x 13\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep violet crystal faces across a natural matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of one — this exact piece ships\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreestanding; no mount or base required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA specimen at this scale is architecture, not accessory. Place it once, properly, and leave it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose the surface before it arrives. It needs to carry roughly 80 lb without flexing — stone, solid wood or floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition it where light crosses the crystal faces at an angle rather than head-on. Raking light shows the violet; flat light flattens it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive it clearance. A piece this size reads badly when crowded by smaller objects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMove it only with two people and a straight back — lift from underneath the matrix, never by the points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust with a dry soft brush.
