Amethyst, a violet variety of quartz, forms in geodes and cavities within igneous and metamorphic rocks. The most significant deposits originate from Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia, with smaller quantities sourced from Madagascar and Russia. Its purple hue derives from iron impurities and natural irradiation within the crystal lattice. Historically valued by ancient civilizations, amethyst was believed to promote clarity and spiritual awareness. This sphere showcases the mineral's characteristic hexagonal crystal structure and translucent to transparent appearance. Each piece is a natural formation, making every specimen unique in color intensity and pattern. Ideal for collectors, meditation practitioners, or those drawn to its aesthetic and metaphysical properties.
