“Direct from the source. Nothing in between.”
Founded in 1991 by the Barrios family, Barrios Amethysts was born in Artigas, Uruguay — a region globally recognized for producing some of the finest amethysts in the world.
From our own mines, including Santa Rita, our most important source, we carefully extract and select each piece, maintaining full control of the process from the earth to our clients.
Over the years, we have grown into an international supplier, exporting worldwide and participating since 2016 in the most prestigious gem and mineral shows across the globe.
