ABOUT Amethyst Gems
I need help with Amethyst gemstone.?
I can not find the chemical composition / formula is streak shape, specific gravity / density, or how it is mined. Could you please help me?
Its composition chemical is very similar to quartz but it contains low concentrations (parts per million) of manganese that gives it the color purple. The crystal structure is trigonal - same as quartz is that the severity of streaks and specific (2.65grams per cc). It is formed by crystallization of saturated water dissolved silica and metals in cavities in rocks (the same process by which salt crystallizes from a solution in the water when it is saturated). Its usually extracted by hand (so expolisves destroy it!) With picks and shovels. It occurs as rounded pieces of amethyst Geodes who drew the inside of them. Coincidentally, if you heat treating Amethyst can turn a kind of dirty yellow so it looks like Citrine a bit but its not nearly as good as natural Citrine. That does not stop people from selling it though! Amethyst also slowly fades in daylight, but the color can be restored by irradiating it with X-rays And NOT Quartz n is not hexagonal. Everybody makes this mistake just cos its six sides. Its rhombohedral. Incidentally, the name Amethyst has a Latin root - the Romans believed that he warned against drunkenness. A-methyl.

Attributes: Amethyst is associated with a strong intuition, brain, wealth, peace, protection and spirituality. Chinese use it for multiple purposes. For example, it is common to wear Amethyst Jewelry if you are about to drink a lot. Amethyst protect you from drunkenness and keep you sober. It is also used in many parts of China, all cons kinds of addictions such as smoking, alcohol or drugs. This magical purple gem is also used for spiritual purposes like meditation or divination. Chinese believe that Amethyst will increase your psychic abilities and skills of invocation. Many Chinese Mediums and Astrologers (including me) always wear a piece of Amethyst with them as a tool of divination. Last but not least, Amethyst is used in China as a natural medicine against insomnia and bad dreams.
