Set it on a console, shelf, coffee table or pedestal and let it function as luxurious sculpture. From the front it is crystalline and luminous. From the back, almost entirely rock. The outside gives almost nothing away. Ochre stone, weathered and irregular, the surface left close to the way it came from the earth. Turn it around and the whole thing opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite quartz grows inward from the walls in long, crowded points. At the center, the crystal shifts into amethyst, pale violet first and then deep purple where the cavity narrows. The color wasn't placed there. It developed as trace elements entered the quartz while the crystals were growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of a kind.

Its name comes from the Greek \u003cem\u003eamethystos\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning \"not intoxicated,\" reflecting the ancient belief that the stone could guard its wearer against drunkenness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe report the tradition; we don't claim it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe documented part is stranger enough. Amethyst is quartz. Its purple color develops when small amounts of iron are incorporated into the crystal structure and later altered by natural irradiation. White quartz and purple amethyst here are not separate inventions. They are variations of the same mineral growing under different conditions inside one cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eORIGIN\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hollow space formed inside the host rock. Mineral-rich fluid entered it, and silica began crystallizing along the walls. Quartz grew inward over time, point after point. As the chemistry changed, sections of that quartz developed violet color and became amethyst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior was left rough.
