About the Item
A stunning amethyst formation formed of a three quarter geode with cut window, revealing deep purple amethyst crystals, with a beautiful central calcite coated in black goethite and and white druzy quartz.
The piece is a wonderful example of the rare mineral combinations found in the highest quality amethyst found in Uruguay. The combination of black goethite arranged in straight lines over calcite is particularly rare and these are sometimes referred to as "skunks" by mineral collectors.
A beautiful free standing peice.
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.
