Read our reviews →Amethyst is quartz colored purple by trace iron and natural irradiation over millions of years, grown in volcanic gas cavities that became geodes. What separates a good piece is saturation: deep violet with red flashes, even color to the tips, and crystal faces that stay glossy. Pale, patchy material is common; saturated, well-formed material is not.
Artigas, Uruguay produces the deepest color in the world; Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil produces the largest cathedrals.
Weight: about 2.1 kg (4.6 lb).

About the stone
Amethyst
Amethyst's purple comes from trace iron irradiated naturally inside the quartz over geologic time. Heat it past roughly 400°C and the purple turns golden — most commercial citrine started life as amethyst.
