11" Amethyst & Green Quartz Geode on Metal Stand - Uruguay

Amethyst & Green Quartz Geode on Metal Stand - Uruguay #102085

This is a gorgeous amethyst and quartz crystal geode from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The quartz crystals range between colorless, purple (amethyst) and spots of orange quartz and green quartz. The unique coloration would be due to natural heating of the amethyst deposit by a nearby lava flow or intrusion.

This geode also displays stalactite formations, some of which have been cut and polished, revealing the inner formation structure. I can pretty much guarantee this incredible piece will look better in person than in the photos.

The entire piece weighs 16.7 lbs, measures 11" tall, 8" wide and stands 15.3" tall on the included custom metal display stand.

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.
