This is a gorgeous amethyst crystal geode from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The amethyst crystals are a dark purple color and are nearly all in pristine condition. The "rind" has been polished all the way around to show off the mineral transition layers between the rock and amethyst crystals. There are also several "stalactite" formations that have been cut and polished down within the geode. This geode is accompanied by a large custom metal display stand that displays this geode beautifully.

We can pretty much guarantee this incredible specimen will look even better in person than in the photos.

The geode itself measures 30.5" wide by 16.3" tall. Including the stand it stands 21.9" tall and weighs just over 110 pounds.

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.
