£ 10.20
AMETHYST QUARTZ CRYSTAL – NATURAL PURPLE QUARTZ MINERAL SPECIMENThis Amethyst Quartz crystal is a genuine natural mineral specimen, carefully
selected for its colour, clarity, and crystal structure. Renowned for its rich purple hues and classic quartz formation, Amethyst is one of the most popular and recognisable varieties of quartz. The exact specimen shown in the photographs is the one you will receive, ensuring complete confidence in your purchase.Each crystal includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee card, confirming its genuine origin. Full sizing details are available in the listing photographs for accurate scale reference. MINERAL COMPOSITION AND CRYSTAL CLASSIFICATIONAmethyst is a purple variety of Quartz, composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). It crystallises in the trigonal crystal system and typically forms six-sided prismatic crystals with pyramidal terminations. Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth’s crust and is widely valued for its durability and crystal structure, with a Mohs hardness of 7.The purple colour of Amethyst is caused by trace amounts of iron within the crystal lattice, combined with natural irradiation during formation. Variations in these conditions influence the intensity and distribution of colour within the crystal. CRYSTAL HABIT, COLOUR AND VISUAL CHARACTERISTICSAmethyst commonly forms as well-defined prismatic crystals, often growing in clusters or as individual points. This specimen may display classic quartz crystal faces, including smooth, reflective surfaces and sharply defined प्राकृतिक terminations.Colour ranges from pale lilac to deep violet, sometimes with zoning where different shades appear within the same crystal. This zoning reflects changes in chemical conditions during growth and adds depth and character to the specimen.The crystal typically exhibits a vitreous lustre, giving it a glass-like appearance. Translucency to transparency is common, allowing light to interact with internal structures and enhance the overall visual appeal.Natural inclusions, internal fractures, or growth lines may be visible, contributing to the individuality of each piece. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION AND ORIGIN ENVIRONMENTAmethyst forms in a variety of geological environments, most commonly within volcanic rocks such as basalt. It often develops inside cavities known as geodes, where mineral-rich fluids deposit layers of silica over time.As these fluids cool and crystallise, quartz crystals grow inward from the cavity walls. The presence of iron and exposure to natural radiation during this process results in the formation of Amethyst’s distinctive purple colour.Amethyst can also form in hydrothermal veins, where similar processes occur within fractures in the surrounding rock. These formations develop over extended geological timescales, producing the crystal structures seen in this specimen. STRUCTURE AND DISPLAY APPEAL• Classic quartz crystal formation with natural terminations• Attractive purple colour with possible zoning variations• Strong visual presence with glassy lustre• Ideal for mineral collectors, display cabinets, or décorAmethyst has been traditionally associated with clarity and balance in symbolic contexts, making it a popular decorative mineral while remaining valued primarily for its geological and aesthetic qualities. AUTHENTICITY AND PRODUCT DETAILS• Genuine Amethyst Quartz crystal specimen• Includes Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee card• Carefully selected individual piece• Exact specimen shown in photos will be receivedThis Amethyst Quartz crystal offers a combination of natural colour, crystal structure, and geological significance, making it a highly desirable addition to any mineral collection or display.
