Massive, 4 Foot Amethyst Geode On Metal Stand - Urugay

This is a truly awe inspiring display piece, a nearly 4 foot tall, top quality Amethyst geode from Uruguay. It comes with a custom mental display stand, to complete the impressive presentation.

The Amethyst crystals in this piece are top quality, not the low quality amethyst geodes typically seen from Brazil. They are dark purple in color with lots of sparkle, and there are many small white calcite crystals also present on the piece.

The geode itself is 46" tall, and it stands 52" tall on the stand. The geode weighs in at 291 lbs.

Due to it's large size it will need to be shipped freight in a custom crate. Domestic freight shipping cost is included in the price. International freight shipping will be additional and billed after purchase.

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.
