Rainbow Amethyst Cutbase – 14 cm, 1.6 kg – Rare “Sugary” Double Crystallization from Uruguay 💜
This Rainbow Amethyst Cutbase from Uruguay is an extraordinary single piece in a delicate old pink-purple shade, which is much rarer than the classic violet. The entire surface is covered by 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 is crystallized 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 pink-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 such as Artigas, Uruguay.
🌋 Formation & Origin
Amethyst forms in volcanic cavities over millions of years. In Artigas, Uruguay, iron-rich solutions, steady 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.
