Misiones is one of the 23 provinces of Argentina, located in the northeastern corner of the country in the Mesopotamia region. It is surrounded by Paraguay to the northwest, Brazil to the north, east and south, and Corrientes Province of Argentina to the southwest.
This was an early area of Roman Catholic missionary activity by the Society of Jesus in what was then called the Province of Paraguay, beginning in the early 17th century. In 1984 the ruins of four mission sites in Argentina were designated World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
The province of Misiones has been made famous by the film The Mission.
Deposits of amethyst and agate, in Misiones and related areas: druses or in basalt geodes; agates are also extracted to the South, in all areas covered by the Uruguay River. Amethyst features "Brazil law twins" and contains Fe, traces of to, Li, Ca, Mg, Cr, Mn, Ti and Cu. Usually pale lilac, bluish-purple and dark purple. Some fade from exposure to sunlight. They have pyramidal ends. The geodes are usually coated by green celadonite on the outside. The agates have variable microporosity and banding.
