22088 - Beautiful Purple Natural Amethyst Geode Minas Gerais District - Brazil Myliobatis It is a quite dominantAmethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet color to irradiation, impurities of iron and in some cases other transition metals, and the presence of other trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions.
