AMETHYST ACCORDING TO A SCIENTIFIC POINT OF VIEW

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz but it can have a color range from violet-purple to red-purple depending upon its components & irradiation it receives. Its main molecular component is SiO2. It contains the highest amount of tetravalent oxide of iron with respect to other quartz. This iron oxide (Fe2O3) is usually responsible for the different shades of Amethyst. Besides this, it also contains manganese & hydrocarbon. Heating it at a high temperature changes it to Citrine. This process is usually used to make synthetic citrine out of amethyst. If a high amount of light is irradiated then the color of amethyst darkens and if the light exposure is too high the color ultimately fades. It has a melting point of 1650±75 °C. It has a glassy luster. The hardness of this is very similar to other quartz.
