About the Item
This fascinating section of basalt perfectly illustrates how the precious
amethyst appears in the tunnels of the underground mines of Artigas.
Glistening deep purple crystals jump out from the rough volcanic stone,
signaling that the area is rich in geodes.
This piece was legally and ethically sourced directly in the prestigious mines of Uruguay, South America. Uruguayan amethyst is internationally recognised as being the finest and most aesthetic amethyst in the world, due to its intense deep purple colouration, 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.
