Amethyst is a high-quality form of quartz crystal, naturally found in clusters in a nodular stone. They are sometimes found in small cavities in rocks. The chemical name for amethyst is silicon dioxide. Amethyst obtains its color through a combination of manganese impurities and iron.

The unique gems called ametrine are half purple and half yellow.
