Large Deep Purple Amethyst Geode – 19.21 lb | Natural Uruguayan Crystal

An Exceptional Deep Purple Amethyst Geode from Artigas, Uruguay

This 19.21 lb deep purple amethyst geode is an exceptional collector-grade specimen from Artigas, Uruguay — sourced from the volcanic basalt formations that produce the world’s most saturated amethyst. The crystal bed displays large, sharply defined points with an intense deep purple color that deepens toward near-black at the core — a hallmark of premium Uruguayan material.

What sets this piece apart is the dramatic natural quartz formation that frames the lower and lateral edges of the crystal cluster. This transparent-to-milky quartz zone creates a striking visual contrast, highlighting the richness of the purple and adding rare geological character that collectors prize.

The flat-cut base ensures the piece stands securely without any additional support. At over 19 lbs, it commands presence on a shelf, console, or floor display.
