01 · Origin
Artigas, Uruguay
Lot MB-62400429 · Grade A

The world’s premier amethyst region — fully traceable.

Every piece in our inventory is extracted from our own concessions in Artigas, Uruguay — including the Santa Rita mine and 30+ adjacent proprietary sites. Artigas produces the deepest-color, highest-clarity amethyst geodes in the world.

All concessions are registered with DINAMIGE, the Uruguayan National Directorate of Mining & Geology. Full chain of custody is documented from extraction through curation, packaging, and export. Mine-to-buyer traceability on request for every shipment.

02 · Quality
Two grading scales · Standard (Extra–E) & Bright (I–II)
Lot MB-62400338 · Grade A

Consistent grading, transparent reference pricing.

Every piece is photo-catalogued and SKU-tracked from extraction. Our in-house grading maps to consistent reference pricing (the PEDRA database) — minimum and maximum per-kg ranges by product, material, and quality. Amethyst, citrine and calcite use the standard six-tier scale; druzy (sugar-coat amethyst with micro-crystalline reflectivity) uses a separate three-tier scale tuned to sparkle density and rainbow optics. Sample shipments available prior to first-order commitment.
