9.1" Wide, Deep Purple Amethyst Geode - Uruguay
This is a beautiful, grape-jelly purple amethyst geode from the famous amethyst mines in Artigas, Uruguay. It measures 9.1" across. This geode has an interesting section where the purple crystals abruptly transition to a different form of quartz. When light shines through from the back, this section glows ocean green due to mineral inclusions, giving the impression of a cresting wave.
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.
