An exceptional and imposing showpiece, this monumental Brazilian amethyst geode cathedral features two masterfully hand-carved gemstone cockatoos perched atop its natural volcanic matrix. The massive geode reveals a deep, vibrant purple crystalline interior with tightly clustered, lustrous amethyst points framed by a distinct banded agate and calcite ribbon rim.

Perched on the crown are two meticulously sculpted cockatoos crafted from translucent yellow calcite or onyx, featuring finely articulated plumage and crests. The birds are further detailed with vibrant green aventurine or jadeite beaks, inlaid sodalite and hardstone tail feathers, and are securely mounted with realistically rendered cast-metal feet. A striking fusion of natural geological wonder and expert lapidary artistry, this large-scale specimen serves as a commanding focal point for any distinguished collection or luxury interior space.
