Beautiful pair of pink amethysts from Uruguay

A Pink Amethyst pair from Uruguay with the pinkish-violet coloration typical of the region and a small-crystal tip distribution.

Pink Amethyst is a rare variety of amethyst, its pink coloration caused by hematite inclusions in the quartz crystal lattice. In contrast to classic purple amethyst (coloration due to iron-radiation color centers), Pink Amethyst gets its color from tiny iron oxide particles.

The deposits are exclusively located in a narrow zone in Artigas, Uruguay. Pink Amethyst pairs are significantly rarer than common amethyst and are found in only a few deposits.

Both halves show the pinkish-violet coloration with fine orange-red accents, an indication of concentrated hematite inclusions in individual areas.

A collector's item with an unusual color palette, suitable as a facing pair in a living space.
