9.9" Sparkling Green/Silver Quartz Geode on Metal Stand - Uruguay
This is a beautiful, sparkly, druzy green/grey quartz geode from the Amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The "rind" of the geode has been nicely polished and it has a custom metal stand creating a very aesthetic display piece. The geode itself is 9.9" tall and it stands 12.2" tall on the custom stand. The coloration of the quartz is a result of the impurities within the deeper agate/quartz formations.
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.
