Where Every Stone Begins
Origin & Certification
MEG sources exclusively from two of the most mineralogically significant regions on earth. Here is exactly where, how, and why.
MEG's entire inventory comes from direct partnerships with family-run operations in Artigas, Uruguay and Minas Gerais, Brazil. These are individually documented, photographed at source, and assigned a certificate before export.
A significant proportion of crystals sold globally — including in Indonesia — are dyed, heat-treated, resin-coated, or synthetic, sold as natural specimens. Even among genuinely natural stones, origin labelling is often approximate: "South American amethyst" can mean anything from premium Artigas material to lower-grade deposits from four different countries.
MEG does not deal in approximations. Every stone has a specific origin, a specific certificate, and a specific photograph. You are not buying "a type of amethyst" — you are buying a documented physical object with a known geological history.
