16" Large, Amethyst Crystal Cluster On Metal Stand - Uruguay

This stunning specimen of dark purple amethyst is from the famous mines at Artigas, Uruguay. Amethyst crystals from Artigas are usually small; this cluster is rather different in that the crystals are much larger (many are over an inch across).

It will surely make a statement wherever it's placed.

The entire specimen is 16" tall, 6.3" wide, and stands 18.6" tall on the included very sturdy 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.
