Here is a new find called “Pink Amethyst”. Pink amethyst is in reality – a pale purple with a layer of gold (citrine) creating the colour pink. Then again, who cares? Its lovely. Its a cave with a lot of heart energy – from the heart colours of pink and gold. This is the only Pink Amethyst Cave Cathedral we were able to get. The very few we saw were chopped up into slices (not a good selling shape).
The pink amethyst cave has a symmetry that is really appealing. The energy does exit gently through its open mouth into the room, and the points very small so they glitter in the light. Here is the video of it on YouTube. It is on display at Crows Nest.

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.
