AmethystAmethyst is the purple variety of quartz The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken." Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its color and beauty. Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades.Many experts attribute this unique coloration to small amounts of iron impurities in the crystal lattice of quartz, which usually exhibits a clear and colorless texture. Other scientists, however, theorize that the mineral's color arises from the presence of minute quantities of manganese or hydrocarbons. Amethyst can occur as long prismatic crystals that have a six sided pyramid at either end or can form as druzes that are crystalline crusts that only show the pointed terminations. As a mineral specimen, amethyst is popular for its color and nice crystal shapes that produce a handsome, purple, sparkling cluster. However, amethyst is not the same everywhere. Different localities can produce a unique amethyst to that particular region or even to that particular mine.
