Stainless steel necklace with Uruguayan Amethyst

Amethyst is a stone that generates international interest, both for the size of its crystals and for its intense color, which can vary from white to dark violet, almost black. Indeed, the darker the stone, the more expensive it is, but its price also depends on other variables such as its size, the quantity and size of the crystals and whether or not it was worked. The quality of Uruguayan amethyst is very high, because it is more violet than in other extraction areas near the country, and also because it has a greater quantity of crystals, which allows them to be brighter. Amethyst is a natural stone. Its color is generated by the concentration of iron in the stone, but its origin is not very certain, since there are several theories about the formation of its deposits in northern Uruguay. On the one hand, it is believed that about 130 million years ago with the separation of the continents in the desert that existed in the area at that time, there was a large volcanic explosion with a lava spill. The contact of this with the sand caused a release of gases that, when cooled, generated holes within the stone, into which the sand was placed, generating amethyst or agate geodes, which are different types of quartz. Other theories maintain that the solidified lava was affected by the presence of water rich in the mineral quartz. In ancient times, amethyst geodes were prized for their healing and mystical properties. Uruguayan amethysts are among the best known in the world. Indeed, Uruguay is recognized as one of the most producing countries of this type of stone in the world. The deposits are located 70 kilometers south of the city of Artigas, in the northernmost department of the country. There are four extraction areas there, however, it is the only department in which deposits are found. The extraction is done in the open air and through tunnels.
