Rare Uruguayan Amethyst Cluster with Long Scalenohedral Calcite on Calcite – Large Cabinet Specimen
This Uruguayan amethyst specimen features an uncommon calcite composition, standing as imposing as Excalibur, the sword in the stone. The calcite appears to have grown within calcite itself, showcasing a mineral masterpiece that is sure to become a prized addition to your collection or serve as a stunning centerpiece in your decor, bringing unmatched natural beauty.
Prominent and sharply defined, the scalenohedral calcite draws immediate attention. Long crystals formed on a conglomerate of calcite, creating a composition that leaves us wondering how it came to be. Over millions of years, not all calcite points survived, but the ones that remain are perfectly intact—adding to this specimen’s extraordinary nature.
A deep purple amethyst provides the background and essential contrast to the calcite. The cluster was skillfully extracted and preserved, retaining its pristine condition and natural appeal, with the added reassurance that it was ethically sourced in Artigas, Uruguay.
It’s worth noting that the calcite formations from this geode may be the only ones in the world with this geological structure. The size, rarity, and beauty of this specimen make it a once-in-a-lifetime find.
