Amethyst Crystal

Large Amethyst Cluster

Amethyst is a member of the Quartz family. It is formed and found deep inside igneous volcanic rocks. There needs to be the right environment for them to bloom which includes silica and ferric iron that meet inside the hollowed- out rocks. The traces of iron and other impurities give it that unique very well- known purple coloring we all can recognize. Depending on the components in the mineral, there can also be variations such as Ametrine, Mossy Amethyst, Cape Amethyst and others.

Amethyst gets its name from the Greek word “améthystos“ which means “not intoxicated”. This points out that the gemstone is known for encouraging balance, serenity and clarity into the users’ life.  According to the Smithsonian, the purple color was given to the amethyst by the God of wine.

It is a silicate mineral. It measures a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale which means it is a hard crystal that is durable. The rock’s surface when fractures appear in the mineral is uneven and conchoidal.

Hollandite, on the other hand, forms as black, platy crystals that grow near the surface of amethyst and often look like little black furballs.  Similarly Siderite can grow on and in amethyst and will either be a sparkle tan-orange hue botryoidal formation on top, or a white-tan dot under the surface.

Amethyst often grows in geodes, which are hollow rock cavities lined with inward-facing crystals. Inside these geodes, various other minerals can grow on or within the amethyst crystals, creating unique and beautiful patterns. One mineral commonly found with amethyst is calcite, which can form small, transparent crystals or cloudy, opaque masses. Quartz and citrine are also known to grow with amethyst, as well as other types of minerals like smoky quartz and agate. These inclusions can greatly enhance the beauty and value of an amethyst crystal, and are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Additionally, the presence of these minerals can also affect the energy and metaphysical properties of the amethyst, creating unique combinations of healing properties.
