especially for the making of exclusive prize winning jewelry
Very rare and only from Uruguay..polished on both
sides.
The slices are cut and polished from columns of amethyst developed
millions of years inside amethyst geodes. Amethyst geodes,once
gas pockets in hot boiling lava, were fluid silica founds it
way inside , together with iron particles to give the purple
colour,
When everything cooled off ,atoms and molecules, together with
the available silica were trapped and formed the quartz crystals
inside .
Now today and 50 million years or so ago amethyst geodes are
mined from the very hard lava basalt, once boiling lava.
