Amethyst is primarily extracted from volcanic rock formations, where it occurs in geodes or cavities filled with quartz crystals. Mining methods include open-pit mining or underground mining, depending on the location and depth of the deposits. After extraction, the raw amethyst is often cleaned, cut, and polished to enhance its natural color and brilliance before being sold in the gemstone market. Major sources of amethyst include Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia.
