Black amethyst on an iron stand.
Black Amethyst, a rare quartz variety, displays hues of purple, blue, and red, but its pure form is an opaque jet-black due to trace amounts of iron oxide in its crystal lattice. The unique color contributes to its characteristic sparkle when exposed to light. In addition to its beauty, Black Amethyst also offers powerful properties for dynamic energy, thanks to the combination of microscopic crystals of hematite, amethyst, and quartz. With a remarkable hardness rating of 7 on the Mohs scale,
Black Amethyst is resistant to negative energies and retains its integrity over time. Its glossy surface and dark color, caused by gas bubble inclusions during crystallization, add to its strong protective and grounding qualities, rooted in its association with the Earth's core.
