12.6" Top Quality Deep Purple Amethyst Geode with Calcite
This is an absolutely gorgeous, dark purple amethyst geode with calcite, collected from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The crystals have exceptional purple coloration and the face (rind) of the geode has been polished to a glossy finish. The polishing allows for the underlying agate layers to be seen.
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.
