9.7" Amethyst Geode on Metal Stand - Uruguay
This is a gorgeous amethyst geode section from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The coloration of the crystals is a beautiful, dark purple with some orangish tints in areas. The edges of the geode have been nicely polished to reveal the agate "rind". It comes with a custom metal display stand to show it off.
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.
