Product Overview:

Uruguay Cathedral Amethyst, particularly of the Q5 grade, is known for its extraordinary quality and stunning visual appeal. These amethyst geodes originate from the rich mines of Artigas, Uruguay, which are celebrated for producing some of the finest amethysts in the world. Q5-grade amethysts are considered premium, showcasing deep, vibrant violet hues with exceptional clarity and luster. The color intensity is striking, often appearing as a uniform rich purple that sparkles when light passes through the crystalline formations.

Uruguay Cathedrals in Q5 grade are typically large, natural geode formations that resemble towering cathedral structures, which makes them highly desirable as both collector's pieces and decorative art. The term "cathedral" refers to their shape—tall and narrow with a hollow interior filled with amethyst crystals. These geodes are often admired not only for their beauty but also for the positive energy and metaphysical properties associated with amethyst, such as its reputed ability to bring calm and healing.

What sets Q5 apart is the minimal amount of visible imperfections. The crystals are usually well-formed, with sharp, well-defined points and a high degree of transparency, ensuring that the amethyst’s natural beauty is fully displayed. In terms of value, these geodes are at the higher end of the spectrum, commanding premium prices due to their rarity and superior quality.

Quality Grading information

To assist you in choosing the ideal Uruguayan Cathedral Amethysts for your market needs, we provide a detailed grading system. Each piece is carefully evaluated and classified into one of the following quality grades:

Q5: Fine Quality Grade

• Color: The color of Q5 Uruguay Cathedral Amethyst tends to be much lighter and less vibrant compared to higher grades like Q1 or Q2. It may exhibit pale to medium purple tones, with some areas possibly appearing washed out or uneven. The deep, rich purples typical of higher-grade Uruguayan amethyst are generally less pronounced in Q5 specimens.
• Clarity: Clarity in Q5 amethyst is notably less impressive, with a higher frequency of inclusions, fractures, and internal cloudiness. These imperfections are more visible to the naked eye, and the overall transparency may be low. The stone may have a milky or hazy appearance, detracting from its brilliance and sharpness.
• Polish: The polish of Q5 Uruguay Cathedral Amethyst is likely to be less refined, with a more uneven surface. The crystals may have rougher terminations or lack the glossy, smooth finish seen in higher-grade stones. The lower quality polish could affect the stone’s reflective properties, giving it a less lustrous and less refined appearance.
