Layer by layer, an amethyst stalactite builds up as mineral rich water drips inside a geode, so every piece carries a slow story.
This piece comes from Uruguay, where mines near Artigas are known for amethyst stalactites that form inside geodes in volcanic basalt, with amethyst and chalcedony building up around a central core. At about 6 by 4.5 inches, it is a compact specimen that suits a desk, a bookshelf or an office display. It makes a thoughtful gift for a February birthday, a mineral collector or anyone who enjoys the geology behind their stones. If you are new to stalactites, this size is an easy first piece to add to a collection. This is the exact piece shown.
The stalactite is about 6 by 4.5 inches.
About Amethyst Stalactites
Amethyst stalactites form inside geodes in volcanic basalt and are well known from mines near Artigas, Uruguay. Like cave stalactites, they build up as mineral rich water drips and deposits layer after layer, and a cross section shows banding of chalcedony and amethyst around the core.
Stone Meaning: Amethyst is traditionally associated with calm and balance.
