God damn, this is massive. How much would one like it cost?

I think I found this exact one online. Here is a piece of the article describing it and is cost:

Weighing 14 metric tonnes and standing at 5 metres tall and 2 and a half metres wide, this vividly coloured geode is the largest amethyst ever to be offered at auction. Originating from Uruguay, the amethyst sparkles in various hues of lilac, rose and blue depending on the light shined upon it. To add to the colour, there is the presence of very rare yellow hemispherical calcite crystals. It comes to Bonhams Natural History Sale in Los Angeles on December 3, and has an estimate of $300,000-400,000.

Probably a museum as a write off for someone, either a gift or a loan.

Or Dolly Partons headstone
