Brazilian Amethyst
Iron mixes with silica under immense pressure for thousands and even millions of years to form, well, not such extraordinary rocks. But that’s only at first glance. Because once they’ve been cracked and opened to expose the breathtaking purple Amethyst crystal. These transparent prismatic crystals can be found in clusters as an incrustation in a nodular stone, referred to as a geode.
Large deposits were found in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais in the 19th century and have brought joy, color, and healing to millions of people all over the world since. As the primary source of Amethyst, Brazilian Amethyst is the most common among wholesalers, and if you have a small or medium-sized Amethyst of your own, it was likely mined in Brazil.
Beyond its abundance, Brazilian Amethyst is slightly more durable, lighter in color, maintains a noticeably shorter and more shallow stature than its Uruguayan counterpart.
