Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz that gets its color from the presence of iron and aluminum in the crystal lattice, combined with natural radiation from the earth. This gemstone is found worldwide, with significant deposits in countries like Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, Russia, and India.

Amethyst often forms in geodes (hollow rock formations lined with crystals) and can also occur in igneous and metamorphic rocks. The colors of amethyst range from light lilac to deep violet, sometimes with red or blue hues. The intensity of the color is influenced by the amount and type of impurities and the level of exposure to radiation during formation.
