Magnificent Amethyst Geode - Deep Purple
A premium-grade amethyst geode from Uruguay.
Geodes from the region where these geodes are mined are known for their exceptional colour.
Trace amounts of iron within the quartz crystal structure, combined with strong natural irradiation from surrounding rocks and steady crystal growth, produce deep purple-coloured crystals, often with minimal colour zoning.
This palm-sized amethyst geode is a beautiful piece.
To preserve the colour of amethyst, it should be positioned well away from natural daylight.
Amethyst geodes may be rinsed under cool water to remove dust if necessary, but should be allowed to dry naturally.
