Description from the seller

Exceptionally Beautiful Amethyst Druze sculpture on a metal stand, from Uruguay. The particularly popular amethyst from Uruguay can, however, usually be distinguished from its Brazilian relatives by its typically paler color, and in the case of higher-quality amethyst, the color of the Uruguayan amethyst is overall darker and considerably more intense. The majority of amethysts from Uruguay are mined in open pit mining. And thus require a multitude of steps to be freed and cleaned to absolute perfection. Which makes such a piece even more special for your home.

Origin: Uruguay
Color: Purple
Gem Type: 100% Natural Amethyst Druze on Stand, Uruguay

On some of the images the stone has been backlit to show you the color of the stone.
