Amethyst is the most noble and beautiful in the crystal family A member of the Feng Shui Stone, the Japanese call Amethyst an energy stone. Amethyst is purple in color because trace amounts of Fe (iron) are infiltrated into it. Iron oxide is the main reason for its bright purple color. Light-colored amethyst is mostly heated (mostly artificially heated, but naturally heated after millions of years). And the citrine that is produced is quite small) processed into citrine. Amethyst will also form other styles, most of which are inward-growing geodes (purple crystal holes), while outward-growing amethyst clusters (the most common on the market are white crystal clusters) are extremely rare.
Amethyst groups are widely distributed around the world. Here we will let pure netizens understand by region and color:
Uruguayan Purple The amethyst produced in Uruguay has always been The most advanced shade of purple in amethyst. This kind of purple is very deep, very delicate, with a burgundy "fire". Nearly discontinued in recent years, it is a must-have item in fine jewelry stores around the world.

Sambia purple is very dark in color, some even as dark as black purple. However, the size is generally very small, with a maximum of a few carats per stone. However, it also has many flaws, and it is rare to find a large and beautiful one. There are currently many dark purple amethyst bracelets and rosary beads, which are ground from this rough Sambia crystal.
Brazilian Purple Brazilian amethyst has the largest output. Generally speaking, the color is relatively light. Most of the colors are either too light or leaning towards "eggplant purple", but occasionally you can find good ones with delicate colors.
Ametrine is a yellow band formed by amethyst heated by natural high temperatures (such as geothermal heat, hot springs or volcanic eruptions). Ametrine is quite popular in the crystal world because it has purple properties. In addition to the color of crystal, it also has the texture of citrine, and the intersection of purple and yellow has a gradient of light transmittance, which is quite beautiful.
Crystal Spirituality
The energy of amethyst is very high, and its energy is relative to the eyebrow chakra in the seven-wheel system. So, amethyst can not only develop wisdom, help thinking, concentrate, and increase memory ability, but also increase the vitality of brain cells and brain operation.

(1) Look at the material selection: For crystal products with well-selected materials, there should be no gas-liquid inclusions distributed in the form of star points, clouds and flocs. The texture should be pure, smooth, and crystal clear. If there are cracks and spots of varying depths, it is considered a defective product.
(2) Look at the workmanship: The processing of crystal products is divided into two types, namely grinding and engraving. For example, crystal necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. are abrasive products; Guanyin statues, painted snuff bottles, etc. are sculptures. A well-made crystal product should be exquisite, which can not only fully display the external beauty of the crystal product (shape, style, symmetry, etc.), but also maximize its inner beauty (crystal and translucent color).
(3) Look at polishing: The quality of polishing directly affects the value of crystal products. Crystal must be polished with emery during the processing process. Rough production will leave traces of friction on the surface of the crystal. Good crystal products naturally have better transparency and luster. According to the local dialect, they are "fire head and foot".
(4) Look at the holes: For crystal products (such as necklaces, bracelets, Buddhist beads), it is necessary to check whether the holes are straight, whether the thickness of the holes is symmetrical, and whether there are small cracks. The hole wall must be clear and transparent. No "white marks".
(5) Look at the color: Even in the same type of crystal, the texture and color of different parts of it are different. If it is a single color, the color must be uniform. If there are shades of light on the same crystal, the tone and texture must be beautiful and generous.
(6) Look at coordination: When buying crystal jewelry, you should try it on to see its size, tightness, and length. If the ornaments are inlaid, check whether they are firm, straight and coordinated. You should also pay attention to whether the style and color of crystal jewelry are coordinated with your body shape, skin color, face shape and clothing.
Methods to evaluate the value of crystals and identify authenticity
One: Quantity. The fewer the better. There are more colorless quartz and smoky quartz, less citrine and amethyst, and less hairy quartz inclusion crystals.
Two: Clarity: The purer the crystal ball, jewelry, etc., the better. Ornamental crystals require inclusions.
Three: The package body: complete, vivid, colorful, and clear in meaning are top quality.
Four: Craftsmanship: The shape requires coordinated proportions, clear priorities, and realistic images, and the polishing requires brightness and no scratches.
How to identify true and false crystals:
(1) Visual inspection: During the formation process of natural crystals, they are often affected by the environment and always contain some impurities. When observed against the sun, they can be seen Light uniform fine horizontal stripes or catkin-like substance. Fake crystal is mostly smelted with inferior crystal slag and glass slag, and is imitated after polishing, coloring, and no uniform stripes or catkins.
(2) Tongue licking: Even in the hot summer days, licking the surface of natural crystal with your tongue will give you a cool and refreshing feeling. Fake crystal will not give you a cool feeling.
(3) Lighting: When natural crystal is placed vertically under the sun, it will emit beautiful brilliance no matter which angle it is viewed from. Fake crystals cannot.
(4) Hardness: Natural crystal has high hardness. Use gravel to lightly scratch the jewelry without leaving traces; if there are streaks, it is a fake crystal.
(5) Check with a polarizer: if you rotate 360 ??degrees under the polarizer and there are four bright and four dark changes, it is a natural crystal, and if there is no change, it is a fake crystal.
(6) Check with dichroism: natural amethyst has dichroism, while fake crystal does not.
(7) Check with a magnifying glass: Use a ten-fold magnifying glass to check under transmitted light. If you can find bubbles, you can basically classify it as a fake crystal.
(8) Check with hair: Place the crystal on a hair. If the human eye can see the double shadow of the hair through the crystal, it is a natural crystal, mainly because the crystal has double refraction.
(9) Test with a thermal conductivity meter: Adjust the thermal conductivity meter to green 4 grids to test the gem. Natural crystals can rise to yellow 2 grids, while fake crystals do not rise. When the area is large, they rise to yellow. One grid.
