Amethyst 

Grey Amethyst is a less common variety of the well-known amethyst, distinguished by its subtle greyish hues mixed with the more typical purple tones. This unique coloration gives the stone an elegant, muted appearance, making it a favorite for those who prefer understated yet sophisticated gemstones.

Grey Amethyst is considered rare compared to the more common purple amethyst. The grey tones are a result of specific geological conditions and mineral inclusions, making it a sought-after variant among collectors.

Composition and Appearance

• Chemical Formula: SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide)
• Color: Grey amethyst features a mix of grey and purple, creating a soft, smoky appearance. The purple tones can range from light lavender to deeper shades, often appearing as a misty overlay on the grey base.
• Luster: Vitreous (glassy)
• Hardness: Like all varieties of quartz, grey amethyst has a Mohs hardness of 7, making it suitable for various jewelry applications.

Where It’s Found

• Brazil: The primary source of grey amethyst is Brazil, known for producing a wide range of amethyst varieties. The unique conditions in specific Brazilian mines contribute to the formation of this rare color variation.
• Uruguay: Uruguay also produces grey amethyst, particularly in regions known for their high-quality amethyst deposits. The grey coloration in these stones is due to slight variations in mineral content and natural radiation exposure.
