4.55" Dark Purple Amethyst Geode On Metal Stand - Uruguay

This is a gorgeous, dark amethyst crystal geode that has been mounted to a metal stand. The cluster itself is 4.55" tall by 2.95" wide. Including the stand, the specimen is 6.8" tall. The outer edge of the geode has been polished, allowing for display of the various crystal growth layers.

The geode is not removable from the metal stand. A hole has been drilled into the rock surrounding the geode and the metal pole has been inserted and glued into this hole.

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.
