Amethyst Teardrop Pendant Necklace

Amethyst is a purple variety of Quartz that has become one of the most popular and well-known crystals to collectors & practitioners everywhere. Amethyst gains its color from gamma irradiation and trace amounts of Iron. The presence of manganese in clear Quartz produces Amethyst, while additional amounts of iron vary the purple coloration. It ranges in hue from pale red-violet to deep violet and may be transparent or opaque. In addition, it is sometimes layered with white Quartz as Chevron Amethyst, found in combination with Cacoxenite, mixed with Citrine as Ametrine, or in rare cases, “rutilated” with Goethite. Most of the world's supply of Amethyst currently comes out of Brazil and Uruguay.
