Sunday Purple, pink - Colorchallenge / Purple amethyst

in ColorChallenge2 years ago (edited)

Hello dear colour friends

I wanted to show you a great find from the Uruguay that is a beautiful amethyst (natural skeletal purple quartz).
Unfortunately, a well known mineral collector found it and made my nose long with the photo 🤣🤣but it is so beautiful that I just had to show it to others.

Amethyst is a widespread quartz variety; large and clear specimens suitable for processing as a gemstone are limited to comparatively few localities. Occurrences are found in Brazil, Uruguay, Namibia, Madagascar, Russia, Sri Lanka and Morocco. Such crystals are mainly found in cavities in hydrothermal veins and in volcanic rocks. So-called amethyst druses, where the crystals have formed within a cavity surrounded by a layer of chalcedony, are also frequently found in the trade. The most beautiful druses usually come from Brazil and can be several metres high and weigh several tonnes.

Ich wollte euch mal einen tollen Fund aus der Uruguay zeigen das ist ein wunderschöner Amethyst (Natürlicher skelettartiger lila Quarz )
Leider hat den Ein bekannter Mineralien Sammler gefunden und mir die Nase lang gemacht mit dem Foto 🤣🤣aber er ist so schön den musste ich einfach weiter zeigen.

Amethyst ist eine weit verbreitete Quarzvarietät; große und klare Exemplare, die sich zur Verarbeitung als Schmuckstein eignen, sind auf vergleichsweise wenige Fundorte beschränkt. Vorkommen gibt es in Brasilien, Uruguay, Namibia, Madagaskar, Russland, Sri Lanka und Marokko. Solche Kristalle findet man vor allem in Hohlräumen in hydrothermalen Adern und in vulkanischen Gesteinen. Häufig im Handel anzutreffen sind auch sogenannte Amethystdrusen, bei denen sich die Kristalle innerhalb eines Hohlraumes gebildet haben, umgeben von einer Schicht Chalcedon. Die schönsten Drusen stammen in aller Regel aus Brasilien und können mehrere Meter hoch und tonnenschwer sein.
