The piece

A standing amethyst geode cut and polished at the mine in Ametista do Sul, southern Brazil. Deep violet at the tips grading to milky quartz at the base, with a calcite-cut rim left rough so you can see the rock it came out of. Every cathedral is weighed, measured and photographed individually — you receive the one you choose, not one like it.

In brief

  • Ametista do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil — named mine
  • Cut and polished at source, paying mine-side rates
  • 30–45 cm standing, 6–11 kg by piece
  • Base ground flat — stands without a stand
  • Cleared in salt and moonlight before dispatch

On buying amethyst honestly

A great deal of amethyst sold in the West is heat-treated citrine, dyed quartz, or genuine amethyst bought through four intermediaries who each took a cut the miners never saw. Ours comes directly from a cooperative at Ametista do Sul that cuts and polishes on site — which is why it costs more than the same stone on a marketplace, and why the people who dug it were paid for the finishing as well as the digging.

    Four pieces to choose from, each photographed in daylight and lamplight. Mine is deeper than the photos and stands perfectly flat.
