Quartz v. Amethyst, Calcite - "The Torch". Santino Mine, Artigas, Uruguay.

At first glance it looks like an expertly prepared deep purple amethyst geode with a calcite crystal positioned in a particularly striking pose.

Thank you!

Some images are gone, and IDK why/how! Sleepy

Though, the worst thing is/was; I couldn't share perhaps the best "piece" I've ever seen. PA was unreachable when I came across it, and I inanely forgot to save the image. I hope I'll see it sometime again and put it here.

Anyway, thanks again. Star
