Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz composed of silicon dioxide, with color ranging from pale lavender to deep purple depending on iron content and natural irradiation.
It forms in volcanic cavities as hexagonal crystals and has been used historically in jewelry and carved objects.
This specimen shows a mix of lighter lavender areas and deeper purple zones, creating visible variation rather than a uniform color.
The surface appears more planar and cut, exposing internal structure and color zoning instead of pointed crystal formations.
The contrast between lighter and darker purple areas creates a layered, cross-section look that highlights how the crystal formed internally rather than externally.
