Question 1

Why does amethyst fade in sunlight?

Accepted Answer

Amethyst's purple colour is caused by iron impurities and crystal defects formed during its creation, which can be altered by UV radiation. It is therefore advisable to store the stone in a shaded location.

Question 2

Is every amethyst tumbled stone the same shade?

Accepted Answer

No – amethyst is a natural mineral, so the purple shade of individual pieces can range from pale lavender to deep dark purple. A uniform colour cannot be guaranteed.

Question 3

How can genuine amethyst be distinguished from a glass imitation?

Accepted Answer

Genuine amethyst typically contains natural inclusions, cloud-like patterns or minor imperfections. Perfectly uniform, deep purple glass without any air bubbles is likely synthetic.
