Very rare and only from Uruguay..polished
on both sides.
The slices are cut and polished from columns of
amethyst developed millions of years inside amethyst
geodes.
Amethyst geodes,once gas pockets in hot boiling
lava, were fluid silica founds it way inside ,
together with iron particles to give the purple
colour.
When everything cooled off ,atoms and molecules,
together with the available silica were trapped
and formed the quartz crystals inside.
Now today and 50 million years or so ago amethyst
geodes are mined from the very hard lava basalt,
once boiling lava.

goldsmith create a piece of exclusive jewellery
