Authenticity Tips
- Color & Consistency: Genuine raw Amethyst typically has a natural purple color that can range from pale lilac to deep violet. The color might not be perfectly uniform throughout the crystal, often showing variations or zones. Be wary of unnaturally dark, consistent, or overly bright, fluorescent purple that looks dyed or artificially enhanced.
- Crystal Formation: Amethyst commonly forms as hexagonal points, clusters, or within geodes. Raw pieces should show natural crystal faces and growth patterns.
- Inclusions: Natural inclusions, internal fractures, or veils are common and normal in raw Amethyst. A completely flawless piece is rare.
- Heat Treatment: Much Amethyst on the market (especially in darker shades) has been heat-treated to deepen its color. While common, a truly raw and untreated Amethyst may have a slightly softer, more natural purple hue. Over-heating can turn Amethyst yellowish-brown (Citrine) or even colorless.
- Lab-Grown vs. Natural: The market is increasingly flooded with lab-grown amethyst, which is virtually impossible to discern from natural crystals by eye alone. The most reliable way to ensure you are purchasing natural, earth-grown amethyst is to buy from a reputable gem dealer who can provide information about the crystal's origin and whom you implicitly trust.
- Hardness: As a type of Quartz, Amethyst is hard (7 on the Mohs scale) and should not scratch easily.
