Hand-carved onyx butterfly on amethyst cluster — no...

A fine hand-carved butterfly made of amethyst fluorite onyx, mounted on a natural amethyst cluster. The wings are individually carved from the stone and polished, with the venation pattern of a real butterfly wing as relief in the surface. The onyx has a soft, translucent cream tint with warm honey-brown bands running through the wings – a natural pattern that varies with each specimen. The body and antennae are of brass, making the butterfly seem to float just above the crystal. The pedestal is an untreated piece of amethyst druzy from Brazil: hundreds of lilac quartz points in a natural geode wall, with white calcite and agate inclusions at the edges. The combination of the polished carving and the rough crystal layer makes the piece lively from every angle. Compact in size and therefore suitable for a desk, windowsill or bookshelf. Also a popular gift item. Metaphysical The butterfly stands as a symbol of transformation and new beginnings. Amethyst is seen as a calming stone that supports mental clarity and inner calm—a classic combination within the crystal world.
