Amethyst is a durable mineral with a hardness of 7 on Moh's hardness scale. Due to its relatively high hardness, amethyst is often mined in alluvial geologic settings where the more durable minerals have been concentrated by erosion and watershed.
Macroscopic amethyst crystals occur as horizontally striated hexagonal prisms terminated by a combination of positive and negative rhombohedrons forming six sided pyramids. Amethyst often occurs as drusy masses showing only the rhombohedral terminations. It can also be massive as is the case with our chevron amethyst specimens.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz with purple color:
Amethyst forms commonly in siliceous volcanics, occurring as macroscopic crystals and drusy amethyst crystal coverings inside of agate lined amygdaloidal cavities or vugs, often forming amethyst geodesamethyst geodes. Amethyst also occurs in hydrothermal quartz veins.
The purple color of amethyst crystals is due to small amounts (approximately 40 parts per million) of iron (Fe4+) impurities at specific sites in the crystal structure of quartz.
Amethyst is said to bring serenity and calm, to enhance one's ability to assimilate new ideas, and to assist during meditation.
