This is a deep-purple amethyst geode, collected from the famed amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. It has a deep pocket with very sparkly, grape juice colored amethyst crystals. The exterior basalt of the geodes has been smoothed and the "rind" has been polished to a glossy finish, creating a nice presentation.

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.
