  • Care Information

    Amethyst gains its purple colour during its formation, trace amounts of iron and other impurities are incorporated into the crystal structure creating the various types of Amethyst you may have seen. Because of this, excessive exposure to sunlight will displace the iron atoms and cause your crystal to lose its purple hue.

     

    After the crystallization of Quartz, these trace amounts of impurities are altered by natural gamma rays, irradiation and radioactive materials to produce the purple color you know Amethyst to have. The intensity of the colour can vary due to this process, some specimens may exhibit deep purple throughout while others fade or display purple colour through clearer Quartz overlays.

     

    Synthetic and heat treated amethysts are sold under various names, or often undisclosed as not being natural, this disappoints the crystal community so take care to ensure what you are sourcing is the product you desire.
