21.1" Sparkling Orange/Silver Druzy Quartz Geode Section - Uruguay
This is an alluring druzy quartz geode section from the amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The crystals have a lovely silver-grey and orange coloration as a result of the underlying rock and iron oxidation. The edges ("rind") and stalactitic formations of the geode have been nicely polished to a glossy finish.

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.
