A piece's journey.

From the quarry face to the finished piece.

  1. The basalt face of the quarry, with an excavator and two workers at the foot of the wall

    01 Quarry face

    It all begins in the basalt of Los Catalanes.

  2. A hand miner in a helmet works the rock face with a pneumatic hammer, beside a geode still embedded in it

    02 Extraction

    Since August 2026, amethyst has been extracted without explosives.

  3. An amethyst geode just out of the quarry, with letters and numbers painted in white on the basalt

    03 Selection

    Every geode is checked as it leaves the quarry.

  4. An artisan in an apron and hearing protection cuts a stone on the workshop saw

    04 Workshop

    This is where each piece is cut, polished and finished.

  5. The inside of a polished amethyst egg, with a red calcite among the violet crystals

    05 Finished piece

    The piece, ready for its new place.
