|---|---|
| Origin & sources | Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), Artigas (Uruguay), also Mexico, Zambia, India and Madagascar. |
| Composition | Chalcedony rind lined with amethyst (quartz colored by iron and natural irradiation), sometimes with calcite and goethite |
How it forms
Gas bubbles trapped in cooling basalt lava left cavities. Later, hydrothermal fluids carrying silica and traces of iron deposited agate and then amethyst crystals inside.
