This is a massive amethyst geode from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The geode itself is 43" tall, but it stands 60" tall including the custom, metal display base.

The edge of this amethyst geode has been polished and the crystals within the geode exhibit excellent color. There are stalacite-like formations throughout this specimen. The "rind" has been polished all the way around to show off the mineral transition layers between the rock and amethyst crystals. We can pretty much guarantee this incredible specimen will look even better in person than in the photos.

This stunning specimen includes the custom metal display stand shown in the photos. The geode measures 43" tall, 27" wide at its widest point and is 13" deep. On the stand, this specimen stands just over 60" (5 feet tall). We don't have an exact weight, but including the base it's probably around 500 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.
