This spectacular geode was carefully extracted from the hard basalt formations near Artigas, Uruguay. It was then masterfully prepared by the local expert craftsman to create a natural work of art. The geode itself is 50" tall, and stands 74" tall when including the sturdy custom metal display base. This enormous geode is sure to turn heads!

The "rind" has been polished all the way around to show off the mineral transition layers between the rock and amethyst crystals. These crystals bear deep purple coloration and formed in association with large calcite crystals along the top right corner of the geode. They are sitting right along the edge and have polished, revealing the cross section, though some calcite crystal faces can still be seen within the geode.

This stunning specimen includes the custom metal display stand shown in the photos. The geode measures 50" tall, 42.5" wide at its widest point and is 12" thick. On the stand, this specimen stands just over 74" (6'2" tall). Including the base, it weighs approximately 530 lbs.

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.
