This secondary mineral growth — white, opaque, and structurally distinct from the surrounding amethyst — formed over millions of years as mineral-rich fluids moved through the geode cavity. It is the kind of inclusion that transforms a beautiful piece into a true collector’s specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surrounding crystal bed displays deep purple amethyst points of exceptional density and saturation, darkening toward near-black at the core. The natural agate banding on the exterior wall is clearly visible, revealing the full geological cross-section of this Uruguayan specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat-cut base allows secure, stand-free display. At over 20 lbs, this piece commands presence in any space — from a collector’s cabinet to a luxury interior. Entirely one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.63 lb \/ 9.36 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geode, flat cut base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep purple, near-black at core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural calcite formation growing within the crystal cluster, banded agate exterior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artigas, Uruguay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-standing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stable flat-cut base — no stand required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraceability:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/traceability\"\u003eCertificate of origin — emporiongems.com\/pages\/traceability\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Emporion Gems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661107118243,"sku":"95","price":1109.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/4538\/6659\/files\/20.63_-_2-Photoroom_2.jpg?v=1778774993","url":"https:\/\/emporiongems.com\/products\/large-deep-purple-amethyst-with-calcite-20-63-lb-uruguayan-geode","provider":"Emporion Gems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
