so I bought this large amethyst cluster for 216 dollars, it is about 12 inches in length and very thick! each crystal is about an inch or bigger in size and it weighs 26.6 pounds but what I want to know is how would I display such a massive and heavy crystal cluster? and where can I post this to let others see it? i really think it is a top grade amethyst cluster

Amethyst is known to fade under long-term UV exposure so I would take that into consideration. In a cabinet that does not get direct sun exposure, or with UV-protected glass, is one suggestion, or it could be a bookshelf piece (again, out of the sun.) That is a nice piece with nice dark color.
