11.1" Wide, Purple Amethyst Geode - Uruguay
This is a 11.1" wide, purple amethyst geode from the famous mines near Artigas, Uruguay. In addition to the amethyst, this geode contains large white calcite crystals. There are also druzy quartz structures on one side of the geode. The surrounding basalt (volcanic rock) has been shaped so that it displays nicely on a flat surface. A really attractive amethyst piece.
About Uruguay Amethyst
Though Brazil produces a greater volume of amethyst, the material from the Artigas region of Uruguay is renowned for its exceptional depth of color and superb crystal quality. Uruguayan amethyst typically forms in dense basalt flows and develops into richly saturated, grape-purple crystals that are considered some of the finest in the world. Because we import our specimens directly from the mines, we’re able to offer outstanding prices on everything from dramatic geodes to premium clusters and collector-grade crystal formations.
