This is a gorgeous amethyst, quartz, and calcite crystal geode from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay. The quartz crystals range between colorless, purple (amethyst) and spots of gray quartz. This geode also displays a "stalactite" formation, parts of which are covered in tiny druzy crystals.

But wait, there's more!

Did you notice the large calcite crystal? I mean, how would you not, but just look at it!

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

This amazing geode weighs nearly 40 pounds 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.
