As twinkly and romantic as the constellation for which she is named, Ara delivers the sparkle to any crystal collection and makes a home a sacred space. She is one of our most glitzy pieces and feels so very festive. She is comprised of a strikingly smooth apophyllite crystal pyramid attached to a cluster of super-sparkly apophyllite crystals and frosted pink heulandite inclusions.
Ara means 'alter' in Latin. We think this name befitting because the crystal is herself so ethereally beautiful that she has a quasi-religious quality to her... Not to mention the most exquisite strawberry-red pigmentation in places. Know that the perspective of our photos can never seem to do the scale of the pieces justice - this piece particularly seems much larger in person.
