Rainbow Amethyst Cutbase – 14 cm, 1.6 kg – Rare “Sugary” double crystallization from Uruguay 💜
This Rainbow Amethyst cutbase from Uruguay is an exceptional one-of-a-kind piece in a delicate dusty pink-purple hue that's far rarer than classic violet. The entire surface is covered in "sugary" crystallization —tiny, sparkling micro-tips that glitter like fine sugar.
✨ What is “Sugary”?
The term describes a special crystal structure in which the amethyst crystallizes not just once, but twice . Countless microscopic spikes grow on an existing crystal surface, creating a velvety, sparkling appearance. This double crystallization is a rare geological phenomenon that can only occur under very stable conditions over extremely long periods of time.
🎨 Unique color
The soft dusky pink-purple hue of this piece isn't treated, but pure nature. It is created when the classic violet amethyst crystals are softened by fine hematite or goethite inclusions. The result is a warm, romantic color gradient—a shade between rose and lavender, found only in a few localities, such as Artigas, Uruguay.
🌋 Origin & Origin
Amethyst forms in volcanic cavities over millions of years. In Artigas, Uruguay, iron-rich solutions, consistent temperatures, and long growth phases ensure this exceptional crystal quality. I personally select all pieces on site, work directly with the mine owners, and ensure fair and sustainable extraction.
