Emerald-Cut Amethyst Gemstone, Deep Purple, Brazil.

Emerald-Cut Amethyst Gemstone, Deep Purple, Brazil.

Amethyst comes from many different mining sources, some of which produce distinct colour styles.

For example, Brazilian Amethyst is the rich purple variety of quartz and was classified as one of the precious gems. These transparent prismatic crystals can be found in clusters as an incrustation in a nodular stone, known as a geode. Brazilian amethyst heals all levels of the mind, body and spirit.

Uruguay has a deep purplish-blue colour, as does Amethyst from Arizona. Amethyst from Russia, colloquially known as "Siberian Amethyst", is very deeply coloured with reddish and bluish tints. It originates from deposits that have since been exhausted and therefore command a high price.

Some dealers may sell deeply coloured Amethyst from other locations as "Siberian Amethyst." African Amethyst is generally more deeply coloured than South American Amethyst, and the label "African Amethyst" in the gem trade may be improperly used to describe a deeper colour stone even if it didn't originate in Africa.
