About this stone
Frequently asked questions
-
Is your amethyst natural or heat-treated?
Most amethyst is natural — the purple is the color the rough was mined at. Some pale material is heat-treated to deepen color before stringing; when that's the case it should be disclosed. Synthetic (lab-grown) amethyst and dyed quartz labeled as amethyst exist in the broader market — confirm mineral identity before buying anywhere that doesn't list it. -
Is heat-treated amethyst still real amethyst?
Yes. Heat treatment changes the color of natural amethyst rough but doesn't change what the stone is — it's still iron-bearing quartz. The treatment is stable, industry-accepted, and meaningfully different from synthetic stones or dyed material. Disclosure is the trade standard; treatment categories should be disclosed — ask if a strand doesn't specify. -
What's the difference between Brazilian, Uruguayan, and Zambian amethyst?
Brazilian amethyst is the volume default — broad color range from pale to medium purple, mostly geode-formed. Uruguayan amethyst is also geode-formed but typically deeper-saturated — the classic "gelatinous" rich purple with red and blue flash. Zambian amethyst is vein-deposited rather than geode-formed and tends toward a saturated raspberry-purple; it's frequently the actual rough behind strands sold under the "Siberian color" label. -
Is "Siberian amethyst" really from Siberia?
Almost never anymore. The original Siberian deposits effectively played out decades ago. "Siberian" today is a color descriptor — deep purple with blue and red secondary flashes — that gets applied to the highest-saturation strands regardless of actual origin (typically Uruguayan or Zambian). -
Does amethyst fade in sunlight?
Prolonged direct sun exposure can fade amethyst color over time — months or years, not days. Normal indoor wear and reasonable display are not a problem. Store finished pieces away from sunny windows if long-term color stability matters for your design.
