Agatised Geode Slice with Rare Central Calcite Formation and White Quartz

About the Item

Bordered by a thick, blueish agate layer, this wonderful slice preserves an interior of large white quartz crystals with a prominent central calcite. The calcite itself is overlaid in amethystine quartz, in another example of epimorphism, with further pinkish “frosted” quartz projections. This piece was legally and ethically sourced directly in the prestigious mines of Uruguay, South America. Uruguayan amethyst is internationally recognized as being the finest and most aesthetic amethyst in the world, due to its intense deep purple coloration, the large size of its peaked crystals, and its durability. These crystals were formed over 120-140 million years during the Cretaceous period, and as all of our pieces are formed naturally, they are completely unique and unrepeatable natural wonders of art.
