12.5" Very Unique Amethyst Geode on Metal Stand - Uruguay

This is a gorgeous, dark amethyst crystal geode on a custom metal stand. The cluster features sharply terminated crystals and and a few cross-sectioned slices that show the layers as stalactitic formations formed. There are some towering stalactites within this geode section that are thickly encrusted in crystals. A very illuminating and beautiful piece.

Included with the geode is a custom metal display stand.

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.
