Amethyst

Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz and is considered a semiprecious stone.

Amethyst frequently shows color zoning, with the most intense color typically found at the crystal terminations. It is the most prized variety of quartz. One of a gem cutter’s tasks is to make a finished product with even color.
