Amethyst - Quartz stalactite slices are a type of mineral formation that occur when water containing dissolved silica and iron flows over the ceiling of a cave and forms icicle-like structures. The iron gives the stalactites a purple hue, while the silica crystallizes into quartz. When these stalactites are cut into thin slices, they reveal a beautiful pattern of concentric rings and sparkling crystals. Amethyst stalactite slices are prized for their aesthetic appeal and metaphysical properties. Some people believe that they can enhance intuition, creativity and spiritual awareness.
