Amethyst Perimeter
The hammer’s blow fractured the geode, exposing a hollow space sparkling with amethyst points. Light glanced off each crystal face, an ordered return despite their tangled arrangement. Fine white dust settled on the newly revealed surfaces, clinging to the sharp edges where growth had ceased and form solidified—a calibration dictated by unseen pressures and the slow accumulation of time. Considering such inevitability, one wonders if value truly originates with the observer or resides within the resonant patterns themselves, a quiet stillness descending as sunlight caught in each facet.
