7.2" Sparkling Amethyst Geode with Metal Stand - Uruguay
This is an absolutely gorgeous, deep-purple amethyst crystal geode section from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The deep coloration, clarity of the crystals, and contours of the geode come together to make this a particularly stunning piece. Tiny black goethite crystals are sprinkled throughout this specimen. The edges of the geode have been polished to reveal the underlying agate.
This specimen includes the custom metal display stand shown in the photos.

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.
