Uruguayan Miners Accidentally Discover Stunning Heart-Shaped Amethyst Geode

This uniquely shaped amethyst geode was spotted by Uruguay Minerals at the border of Uruguay and Brazil when workers broke open a rock that revealed a heart on either side of it.

“We were opening the mine to work normally,” Marcos Lorenzelli of Uruguay Minerals told My Modern Met, “but the land was difficult to work and our employees said, ‘We have to find something really nice due to the hard work we are doing.’”

An excellent example of how changing your mind(set), even for a shortwhile, can result in a once-in-a-lifetime find. It’s really true.

The announcement comes as mobile operators and the government look set to conclude protracted negotiations over Malaysia's 5G rollout plans.
