About the Item

This striking circular slice preserves the end of a large geode. Lined with deep purple, high peaked amethyst crystals, this wonderful piece is punctuated with small calcites overlaid with druzy quartz, resembling snowballs. Further sprinkles of white quartz adorn the adjacent pristine amethyst crystals. The whole resembling a landscape of freshly fallen crystal “snow” on a bed of deep amethyst. 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.
