8.6" Tall, Amethyst Cluster With "Stalactite" Formations - Metal Stand

This is an amethyst crystal geode section with stalactite-like formations from the famous mines near Artigas, Uruguay. It features many shimmering amethyst crystals and comes with a custom metal stand that it sits in for display. Some of the formations that resemble stalactites have been cut and polished to reveal the inner structures from which the amethyst formed.

On its stand, the total height is 11.7" and the edges of the geode section have been polished to reveal the mineral formation beneath.

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.
