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.
