9.9" Sparkling Purple/Grey Quartz Geode Section - Metal Stand
This is a beautiful grey and purple quartz/amethyst geode section from the amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The crystals have a lovely gray/purple coloration as a result of the underlying rock. The edges of the geode have been nicely polished and it comes with a custom metal stand, creating a very aesthetic display piece.
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.
