This is a stunning, 17.5" tall purple amethyst geode section from Artigas, Uruguay. The base of the cluster has been cut flat so that it stands up nicely on a flat surface. There are several stalactitic formations across the specimen and multiple calcite crystals can be seen near the top of the geode.

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.
