Large Amethyst Geode Rich Purple Colour
A truly spectacular amethyst geode from Uruguay.
This large and chunky piece features beautiful purple coloured crystals. It weighs slightly less than 1kg.
Some of the world's finest amethyst geodes come from South America.
The formation of the crystals in this piece would have begun approximately 120 million years ago.
To retain the magnificent colour of amethyst it should be kept well away from natural daylight.
A geode is a geological structure that's taken millions of years to evolve.
Amethyst is widely used for its healing properties. To keep this piece in tip top condition it should not be soaked in salt water nor should it be left in the sun.
Amethyst is one of the oldest and most sought after varieties of the mineral quartz. Its colour comes from impurities of iron and exposure to radiation.
This exceptional geode will make a wonderful addition to any collection of rocks and minerals. Amethyst really doesn't get much better than this.
