Amethyst is a variety of quartz, with purple colour whose intensity depends on trace amounts of iron within the crystal lattice. Its deep violet colour can range from soft lilac to intense purple depending on the specimen, while its crystals can be transparent or slightly hazy. In contemporary crystal traditions, amethyst is symbolically associated with themes of reflection and contemplation. It is one of the most prized varieties of quartz.
This specimen has a druse form, with crystals covering a shared surface. Its fully polished surface shows visible violet and brown colouring, bringing together the crystal’s characteristic purple tones with a darker variation.
Each stone is natural and therefore unique. As a result, its colour, texture, and veining may differ slightly from those shown in the photographs.
