About the Item

A beautiful formation of unusual quartz pseudomorphs after anhydrite. The quartz crystals have formed over anhydrite crystals, which subsequently dissolved, leaving tan coloured quartz crystals with hollow cores. The whole resembling a boat with quartz “sails”. 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.
