Product Information
Full details
The SHAMTAM Coloured Calcite Geode (CCGEO-02) is designed for mineral collectors, interior decor enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a unique conversation piece to brighten their space. This geode offers a striking aesthetic contrast between its matte black exterior and vibrant, shimmering purple interior crystals, providing an affordable way to enjoy crystalline beauty. Potential buyers should keep in mind that the purple hue is achieved through artificial coloration rather than natural mineral pigmentation, which is standard for this specific decorative variant.

FAQs
Is the purple color natural?
No, the crystals are expertly colored to enhance their vibrancy and aesthetic appeal.
Can I put this in an aquarium?
No, it is not recommended for aquarium use as the artificial colorant may leach into the water.
What are the approximate dimensions?
Each geode averages 8.5x6 cm, though dimensions may vary slightly as each piece is unique.
How do I clean the geode?
Clean only with a soft, dry brush. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
Is every piece identical?
No, because these are natural geodes, every piece features unique crystal shapes, sizes, and variations in the rock formation.
Troubleshooting
Crystals look dusty or dull
Use a soft, clean makeup brush or a dry microfiber cloth to gently sweep away particles from the crevices.
Small crystal fragments in the packaging
This is normal for geodes; gently shake the piece over a trash bin to dislodge any loose crystals before placing it on your display surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Striking visual contrast for modern decor themes
- Compact size allows for versatile placement options
- Durable matte exterior finish
- Unique crystal formations in every geode
Cons
- Crystals are artificially colored
- Surface may have loose crystal dust due to geode nature
- Not suitable for use in water-based applications (like fish tanks)
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a natural mineral product with applied color, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance. To set up your geode, simply place it on a flat, stable surface away from high-moisture areas.
Care Instructions:
- Dusting: Use a soft, dry brush or a gentle blast of compressed air to remove dust from the crystal clusters. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as these may dissolve the artificial dye or damage the crystal structure.
- Handling: Always hold the geode by the matte black exterior to avoid transferring oils from your skin to the crystals.
- Storage: Keep in a dry environment. Exposure to direct, intense sunlight for extended periods may eventually fade the vibrant purple hue.
