What Is Smoky Amethyst Made Of?
Bright and striking, this unusual Quartz formation named Smoky Amethyst is indicative of a mixture of purple Amethyst and grey-brown Smoky Quartz.
Within the crystal matrix, hues of inky violet and smoky shades burst in their vibrancy. The gem's clear, transparent base lends an incredible contrast to these vivid colours.
This bright, transparent backdrop is a result of some lovely elements of Clear Quartz included in these crystal phantoms, where crystals have grown on top of other crystals.
