Amethyst, a form of quartz, is in the silicate mineral group.
Amethyst is a mineral, a form of quartz.
Amethyst crystals are actually quartz (SiO2) crystals with a purplish hue derived from impurities of iron and aluminum. The crystalline structure forms from the latticework arrangement of silicon and oxygen atoms unique to quartz. Quartz crystals like amethyst can develop from silica saturated solutions or even from molten silica solutions.
Amethyst is purple or violet quartz, used as a gem stone.
It is part of the sulphide mineral group.
Tremolite is a member of the amphibole mineral group.
Amethyst is a mineral, a form of quartz.
Amethyst is mineral not a metal.
yes, it is. amethyst is a purple type of quartz.
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz. Quartz is Silicon Dioxide SiO2. The color comes from trace elements of manganese/Iron Oxide Fe2O3. To get the best color and best uniform color amethyst is heated.

Amethyst is a mineral. Minerals can be found in all three types of rocks. The crystals are most commonly found inside geodes, making it classified a sedimentary rock. Amethyst is quartz mineral crystal with a purplish tint derived from iron impurities.
Amethyst is an igneous rock. It is quartz which has been stained purple by mineral impurities.
Amethyst is a naturally occurring mineral and was not made by anyone unless you are asking from a theological point of view.
Amethyst is a type of mineral, and is also a purple color. Her ring has a large amethyst in the center. The amethyst robes of the choir look good against the dark walls.
Amethyst is actually a variety of quartz, and as a mineral, is not classified as igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary as are rocks.
Amethyst is colored quartz. Quartz is the crystalline form of silicone dioxide. The purple color of amethyst is believed to be a result of the effects of ferric iron and aluminum as the crystal is formed.
