HISTORY 

Amethyst is one of the most common crystals around, I think pretty much everyone has had one in their collection at some point. Amethyst is a purple variety of Quartz, mined all over the world but the highest grade are mined in Uruguay and Brazil. It can even be found here in Australia but is often quite dull in colour and "dirty" looking from the red stain in our soil.
In some locations, the Amethyst clusters are exposed to light or extreme heat for a long period of time causing them to fade and yellow, turning it into a form of Citrine. This is naturally occurring but more modernly, artificially created. This is also how Amatrine is created.

Fun fact! Back in the day many Ancient Greeks believed that Amethyst would protect its owner from intoxication. They would drink their alcohol from carved Amethyst glasses to avoid drunkenness.
