Amethyst: What is it?
The amethyst is a popular purple variety of quartz, a silicon dioxide mineral, known for its beautiful violet hues ranging from light lilac to deep royal purple. Its color is caused by trace amounts of iron impurities and natural irradiation within the crystal structure. Historically, it was considered a precious stone reserved for royalty, but due to large deposits found in locations like Brazil and Uruguay, it is now classified as a semi-precious gemstone and is widely available for use in jewelry.
