Amethyst from the Artigas area is the most sought after locale. The specimens from Artigas are more pure and a deeper, richer color than most finds. Artigas amethyst is found as vugs deep in hard rock base and requires major excavation to find the geode like vugs of amethyst. Until 1999 this amethyst was hand dug or excavated with small machinery. Specimens have been sold through Idar-Oberstein German markets for many years. Amethyst is the official birthstone for February babies, and there is no example of the gem more impressive than this 5,500-pound geode. The Empress of Uruguay was discovered in the Artigas region in northern Uruguay, a mining area famous for yielding some of the world's finest-quality amethysts.
