Where and How Can I Use This?
This crystal design is stunning and of course you can use it for anything you can imagine. I have a few ideas where I thought this design would fit well. Take a look at my examples down at the bottom of this post as well.
I love this for print work, posters, and wall art. Amethyst geode designs are perfect showpieces all on their own or with a quote. The symbolism of earthy minerals, the gorgeous shimmering stone and it’s natural beauty is all you really need to inspire.
If you’re not about inspirational prints there is a marketing use for this as well. This design is also great for specific industries such as health and wellness, mindfulness, spiritual workshops and so much more!
