Unique 13.5" Amethyst Crystal Cluster on Metal Stand - Uruguay

This gorgeous amethyst crystal geode section from the famous amethyst mines near Artigas, Uruguay is rather unique. It's filled with multiple shades of purple amethyst crystals, a large portion of which formed from a "stalactite" formation. The rind is nicely polished and reveals even more amazing detail. We can pretty much guarantee this cluster will look even better in person than in the photos.

This beautiful specimen includes the custom metal display stand shown in the photos.

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.
