Amethyst: is a violet variety of quartz, Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet color to irradiation, iron impurities (in some cases in conjunction with transition element impurities), and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions.

Amethyst is a member of the quartz minerals. It ranges in colour from pale to deep purple. Sometimes found in large crystal points, amethyst also occurs inside volcanic rock pockets. Brazilian amethysts are mostly light-colored or pale purple. Those found in Madagascar are more violet and reddish-purple. Amethysts from Uruguay have the deepest purple colouring.
