Rainbow Amethyst Cutbase – 14 cm, 1.6 kg – Rare “Sugary” Double Crystallization from Uruguay 💜
This Rainbow Amethyst Cutbase from Uruguay is an extraordinary unique piece in a delicate old rose-purple hue, which is much rarer than the classic violet. The entire surface is covered with a “sugary” crystallization – tiny, sparkling micro points that glitter like fine sugar.
✨ What is “Sugary”?
The term describes a special crystal structure where the amethyst crystallizes not just once, but twice. On an already existing crystal surface, countless microscopic points grow, creating a velvety sparkling appearance. This double crystallization is a rare geological phenomenon that can only form under very stable conditions over extremely long periods.
🎨 Unique Color
The gentle old rose-purple tone of this piece is not treated but purely natural. It arises when the classic violet amethyst crystals are softened in color by fine hematite or goethite inclusions. The result is a warm, romantic color gradient – a middle tone between rose and lavender, found only in a few locations like Artigas, Uruguay.
🌋 Formation & Origin
Amethyst forms in volcanic cavities over millions of years. In Artigas, Uruguay, iron-rich solutions, constant temperatures, and long growth phases create this exceptional crystal quality. I personally select all pieces on site, work directly with the mine owners, and ensure fair and sustainable extraction.
