Collection: Uruguayan Amethyst Crystals & Specimens | The Old and Curious

Uruguayan Amethyst is famous for its exceptionally deep purple colour and intensely lustrous crystal formations, making it one of the most desirable amethyst varieties in the world. Mined primarily in the Artigas region of Uruguay, these specimens are known for their compact crystal structure, dramatic saturation, and remarkable visual impact.

Unlike many lighter amethysts, Uruguayan specimens often display rich violet and royal purple tones with sparkling crystal faces that catch the light beautifully. These striking colours make them especially popular for display pieces, geodes, clusters, and high-end mineral collections.

Many Uruguayan amethyst geodes form within ancient volcanic rock, creating breathtaking natural sculptures lined with densely packed crystals of extraordinary colour and brilliance.

At The Old and Curious, we carefully select each Uruguayan Amethyst specimen for its intensity, formation, and overall natural beauty.
