Striking Uruguayan cutbase featuring vibrant purple amethyst with scattered micro calcite rhombohedra and a complex cluster of etched golden calcite. The calcite shows varied habits—bladed, lenticular, and botryoidal—with subtle skeletal growth and matte textures. Black goethite inclusions add sharp contrast against the translucent matrix. The edges are polished to show the sparkly red/orange core.
