This is a beautiful, complete-all-around stalactite of rich royal purple amethyst from the mines in Artigas, Uruguay. This locality produces the best amethyst stalactites in the world, with a more vibrant purple color than material from Brazil. Admittedly, it is not pristine (most are not), having a few minor dings and one small broken crystal on the back, but it is overall in very good condition and has excellent top terminations with more individual definition to the crystals than usual.
