Amethyst: Shape, Colors, Stone Value, and More

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz. As with all natural minerals, the color and clarity of each Amethyst stone will vary. Some may contain white streaks or veins, while others have no visible inclusions at all. You can read more about the meaning of Amethyst below.

What is an amethyst stone?

Amethyst is a variety of mineral quartz, meaning it has a chemical composition of SiO2. The color of Amethyst can range from violet to light purple, but it's most commonly described as lilac purple. Many people consider this gemstone to be one of the most beautiful in the world—and it's no wonder why! Amethyst stones are known for their versatility and ability to complement almost any outfit or jewelry style.

Amethyst stone color variations.

Amethyst is available in a wide variety of colors. The most common color is purple, which occurs naturally. Other colors include white, red, blue and yellow-green.

You can use this simple test to get an idea of how much iron there is in an amethyst stone. Hold the stone up to your eye and look through it at something white or light colored on the other side of the room that has good contrast against it (like a white wall). Now look at yourself in a mirror. If you see your reflection clearly through the stone then there's not enough iron in it to give it its traditional purple color (but instead will be more of a lavender shade). If, however, your reflection becomes blurry as you move closer to or further from your eye then there's likely too much iron for that particular stone to ever turn into a deep violet shade - but some other interesting effects may still occur!

Is amethyst gemstone rare?

Amethyst is not a rare gemstone. Instead, it is one of the most common quartz gemstones, and it can be found in many places around the world. Amethyst geologists estimate that about 80% of all amethysts were formed in South America, although most are mined from Brazil or Uruguay.

Amethyst has been used for thousands of years to make jewelry and other adornments such as beads and rings. 

We offer all types of amethyst gemstone products, including necklaces, bracelets, rings, pendants, and earrings. In addition, you can find anything related to amethyst gemstones here at Baba Gems Online.

Amethyst gemstone value.

The value of an amethyst gemstone depends on the location in which it was found. The quality of the stone also affects its price; a crystal clear, deep purple Amethyst will be worth more than a pale pinkish white one.

Amethysts can be found in many different locations around the world, including Africa (Mozambique), Australia, Brazil and Canada. However, they are most commonly mined in Brazil where they are often carved into beautiful jewelry pieces that you may find at your local gem shop or jewelry store!
