Beautiful amethyst from Uruguay

A classic Uruguayan Amethyst from Artigas with deep color and complete crystal faces. The exposed quartz points grow densely from the agate rim and display the deep violet color profile typical of Uruguay.

Uruguayan amethysts from Artigas are among the most intensely colored in the world. The high iron oxide content in the basalt host rock has led to a deep dark violet over millions of years, which clearly distinguishes it from Brazilian amethysts.

This geode is in the medium size range and is ideal for beginner collectors, or as a gift for someone who wants to experience the quality of Uruguayan minerals.

The outer edges are undamaged, and the base is flat. The piece stands stably without an additional stand.
