This is a beautiful amethyst geode from the famous amethyst mines in Artigas, Uruguay. It is filled with glittering crystals of a dark, moody purple hue. It measures 11.5” across and 6.6" tall. The base is cut flat for easy display, and there is a small hole in the base that pokes through to the crystal cavity, deep in the left chamber.
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.
