6.5" Quartz Geode Section on Metal Stand - Uruguay
This is an absolutely gorgeous quartz crystal geode section from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. It is filled with crystals and displays "stalactite" formations that have been cut and the ends polished. The quartz is actually colorless and it is the agate beneath it that gives the appearance of being an amber color.

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.
