Regional rather than national
This page is about the producing region specifically. The broader country and export framing is covered on the Uruguay page.
Sourcing close to the source
Working from the region helps keep a request close to local supply rather than passing through several intermediaries. Availability still varies, so we confirm what is realistic rather than publishing fixed stock.
Quality and natural variation
Regional material varies in color, saturation, crystal size, and matrix. We describe the relevant characteristics for your request and avoid absolute quality claims.
