Amethyst reflects light primarily through its crystal structure and surface characteristics. The gem is made of quartz, which has a hexagonal lattice that allows light to enter and refract, creating its characteristic brilliance. When light hits the surface of the amethyst, some of it is reflected back, while other light is transmitted and dispersed within the stone, enhancing its rich purple hues. Additionally, any inclusions or imperfections can scatter light, contributing to the gem's overall sparkle.
