3.3" Glassy Purple Amethyst Crystal Cluster - Uruguay

This is a beautiful, 3.3" wide cluster of amethyst crystals from the famous mines near Artigas, Uruguay. It contains many grape jelly-colored crystals that glimmer in the light. We import our material directly from the mines in Artigas, Uruguay and it is much darker and higher quality than you normally see for sale. These lustrous crystals are shot with purple throughout, really amplifying their deep, saturated colors.

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.
