Amethyst Geode Section on Metal Stand - Uruguay #199678

This is a gorgeous amethyst geode section from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The "rind" has been polished to a glossy finish, revealing the underlying mineral layers. The coloration of the crystals is a beautiful light purple. The crystals are very small and give a druzy-like appearance. Polished portions reveal the layers of cross-sectioned stalactitic formations.

The included custom metal display stand makes for a very aesthetic display.

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.
