Jaipur May 17. On the occasion of World Museum Day, the Khazana Mahal Gem & Jewellery Museum has announced the display of an extraordinary and rare amethyst agate specimen brought from Brazil. The unique stone is naturally formed in three connected sections resembling Mount Kailash, with visible formations that are being interpreted as the divine presence of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh.
Weighing around 100 kilograms, the single-piece amethyst stone is considered a remarkable example of geological artistry. Inside the crystal, a calcite inclusion is also present. The three interconnected spherical amethyst-agate segments make it an exceptionally rare specimen from both geological and aesthetic perspectives.
Museum Director Anoop Srivastava said the piece is significant not only for its rarity but also for its emotional and spiritual appeal. Amethyst agate is traditionally believed to support emotional balance, reduce stress, and protect against negative energy.
The museum will place this new acquisition at the entrance of Johari Bazaar Set so that it is the first attraction visible to visitors. Known for showcasing the journey from raw stones to finished jewellery, the museum highlights natural, uncut mineral formations, and this specimen adds to that narrative.
Srivastava also shared that the museum already houses an 8.5-foot-tall amethyst agate druzy displayed in two parts. With this new addition from Brazil, Khazana Mahal strengthens its position as one of the few museums in India dedicated entirely to gems, minerals, and jewellery heritage.
Located in Jaipur, the museum reflects the city’s long-standing global reputation as a center for gemstone cutting and jewellery craftsmanship. Its collection includes raw stones, polished gems, traditional ornaments, and interactive exhibits explaining grading, crafting, and design processes.
The museum also focuses on education and conservation, regularly organizing sessions for students, designers, and tourists to understand the science and culture of gemstones. By linking geological specimens with jewellery history, Khazana Mahal offers both scientific insight and cultural appreciation.
With the addition of the Brahma–Vishnu–Mahesh amethyst agate, the museum aims to attract both devotees and gemstone enthusiasts during World Museum Day celebrations and the upcoming tourism season.
