Description
Amethyst with rare honey calcite from La Bolsa, Artigas – Uruguay
An exceptional and entirely naturally formed collector's item from the famous La Bolsa mines near Artigas in Uruguay. This imposing amethyst is distinguished by the combination of deep purple amethyst crystals, a beautifully polished agate rim, and especially the striking honey-colored calcite crystallizations that have grown over the amethyst.
It is precisely this natural combination that makes the piece particularly attractive. The warm gold to honey-colored hues of the calcite form a beautiful contrast with the purple of the amethyst and the various layers of the agate. It is an impressive natural product in which color, crystal formation, and structure together form one unique whole.
Rare Honey Calcite on Amethyst
The most striking feature of this specimen is the large, honey-colored calcite crystals that have formed directly on and between the amethyst crystals. This secondary crystal growth gives the piece an exceptional character.
The warm cream, gold, and honey tones of the Calcite contrast sharply with the purple crystals of the Amethyst. This creates a natural three-dimensional composition that looks different from every viewing angle.
No two such pieces are alike. The position, size, and shape of the calcite crystals are entirely determined by natural geological processes.
Beautifully polished agate rim
Surrounding the crystal formation is a characteristic agate rim, which has been carefully polished. This makes the natural patterns, color variations, and different layers of the agate particularly clearly visible.
Beautiful, polished agate faces are also present on the reverse side . This makes this amethyst interesting not only from the front, but also from the sides and back.
Because the piece stands on a rotating stand, the various structures are clearly visible.
Amethyst from Artigas in Uruguay
The area around Artigas in northern Uruguay is internationally one of the best-known sources for high-quality amethyst and agate. The amethyst geodes from this region are known for their often intensely purple crystals, strong luster, and characteristic agate layers surrounding the crystal cavities.
Unique natural intergrowths with other minerals, such as calcite, make certain specimens particularly interesting to collectors. In this piece, the combination of amethyst, agate, and honey-colored calcite forms a very decorative whole.
100% naturally formed unique piece
The shape of this amethyst is 100% natural. The crystals and calcite formations have not been altered or artificially formed. Only parts of the agate rim and back have been polished to make the natural structure of the stone more visible.
This preserves the original character of the mineral, while the polished sections provide a luxurious appearance.
On a heavy, rotating black metal stand
This large mineral is placed on a robust black metal rotating stand with a diameter of 50 cm.
Thanks to the swivel base, the piece can be easily rotated. This allows the amethyst crystals, the honey calcite, the polished agate rim, and the beautiful reverse side to be viewed.
Moreover, the black metal stand forms a calm and modern contrast with the natural colors of the mineral.
