Need help with anxiety or better insights around problems? Want to open the third eye? Let this amethyst cluster with calcite’s extra energy will help. Many people buy them as a thoughtful gift to others. It looks like a mountain and adds nice height to a collection. However I suspect it will especially appeal to a geological collector.

If you want an unusual Amethyst Cluster Upright then here is a very good grade with mid to deep purple, lovely clarity and sparkle in the small points. It has a cut base so it sits up. The back is basalt, cut to remove unnecessary bulk. The colour goes all the way down to the base.

This cluster looks better in person as the sun is partly bleaching it in the photos.

Loads of people notice how their anxiety lessens, peace of mind comes in allowing insights to occur when they are around amethyst. Let it promote positive dreams and then aid you in their interpretation. People have said to us how it eases headaches as it releases tension. It is also said to reduces bruising, injuries, and treats hearing disorders. More about it on the Healing Tab.

Do not soak this one in water. It has a basalt base which when absorbing water has been know to “crumble away” and the calcite will be damaged too. Just wet the top and dry to get dust off. And you can read more about the shape of this amethyst cluster upright.

Geological Information

Geological Information for Amethyst

A member of the quartz family with iron in its crystal lattice being naturally irradiated to FE4+ creating purple colour, hence why the colour is uneven.

As the colour of amethyst is caused by iron-based colour centres, iron minerals are often companions of amethyst. Of those three, goethite, lepidocrocite, and hematite frequently occur as inclusions. If large amounts of FE3+ and FE4+ both exist in a piece you have citrine + amethyst which is called Ametrine.
Amethyst comes in some wonderful structures:
- points and double terminators;
- caves (and broken in to clusters)
  - Amethyst is grows with a matrix of agate or basalt.
- clusters like clear quartz,
- elestials;
- fairy amethyst (very small druzy crystals emerging from the side of the main point);
- spirit amethyst (side points are more visible to the naked eye);
- cactus or pineapple amethyst (like spirit amethyst but the side points are quite large e.g.5-20% of the size of the main termination);
- flowers and angel wings,
- rosettes
- layered with chevron patterning.

Specialised Varieties

Auralite-23

Not to be confused with geological mineral Auralite which has little information about it either. Auralite-23 is a trademark of Robert Simmons and geologists refute all the information being given in this section by the "channelling" of Robert. They believe it to just be an amethyst variation.
"Scientifically proven as the world's oldest crystal - developed more than 1.5 billion years ago." Note: I personally disagree with this assertion also.
"Made up of at least 17 of the following 23 healing stones: Titanite, Cacoxenite, Lepidocrosite, Ajoite, Hematite, Magnetite, Pyrite, Goethite, Pyrolusite, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Nickel, Copper, Iron, Rutile, Limonite, Sphalerite, Covellite, Chalcopyrite, Gialite, Epidote, Bornite"

Brandberg Amethyst (also Brandberg Clear Quartz and Smoky Quartz)

From Namibia's highest mountain, Brandberg Mountain.
Grow like clear quartz clusters.
The Brandberg is a spiritual site of great significance to the San (Bushman) tribes - more about the location.
The crystals are collected by locals rather than formal mining techniques as in Brazil.

Veracruz Amethyst

From Veracruz, Mexico.
Grow like clear quartz clusters.
The crystals are collected by locals rather than formal mining.
