What Type Of Crystal Is Chevron Amethyst? 

Chevron Amethyst is a type of Amethyst, which in turn is a type of Quartz, which is a silicate mineral primarily composed of silicon dioxide.

Amethyst Quartz Crystals are Purple Quartz Crystals, and therefore Amethyst is sometimes simply called Purple Quartz. 

Chevron Amethyst, also known as Dream Amethyst or Dogtooth Amethyst, is distinguished form other Amethyst Varieties by its stunning deep purple Amethyst and V-Shaped White Quartz patterns. 

What Is Amethyst Made Of? 

All types of Quartz, including Amethyst Quartz and microcrystalline Chalcedony, of which Agates are a form of, are composed from silica (otherwise known as silicon dioxide), and are therefore classed as Silicate Minerals. 

The distinctive violet colour of Amethyst Stone is caused by natural irradiation and traces of iron in the crystal lattice. 

Other Types Of Quartz

Quartz Crystals vary widely in colour and encompass transparent Clear Quartz (also known as Rock Crystal), brown Smoky Quartz (also known as Smokey Quartz), and pink Rose Quartz (also known as Pink Quartz), among other Quartz varieties. 

The Quartz family of minerals encompasses a wide range of stones, including sub-sets such as Chalcedony gems like Jasper and Agate. 

Unlike microcrystalline Agate and Chalcedony where you can't see visible crystals with the naked eye, Amethyst Quartz forms clearly visible Amethyst Crystals, including sparkling Druzy Crystals.

Types Of Amethyst

Amethyst can occur in a range of shapes and colours.

This stone can be found with large natural points, or it can be polished into smooth shapes as Polished Amethyst.

• Ametrine, found in Bolivia, is a combination of Amethyst and Citrine which displays stunning zones of golden-yellow and translucent purple.

• Lavender Amethyst, which can be found in large druzy crystals in some of our Amethyst Agate Crystals from India, displays lighter pink-purple colours than the standard deep violets of Amethyst. Lavender Amethyst is a term used to describe a variety of pale lilac-coloured Amethyst, in contrast to traditional Amethyst Crystals which tend to show deep violet colours. 

Amethyst History

As one of the most popular semi-precious stones in history, Amethyst has a storied past.

Amethyst In Ancient Greece

Its name was derived from the Greek 'a-methystos', which means 'not drunk'; it was named thus because the Ancient Greeks believed this stone could prevent intoxication. 

In fact, the people of Ancient Greece even carved Amethyst into the goblets from which they drunk wine in order to prevent getting too drunk. 

Amethyst Myth And Legend

There are many myths and legends surrounding Amethyst.

The most popular myths surround Bacchus, the Roman god of wine (his Greek equivalent is called Dionysus) creating Amethyst.

However, these myths were not written in classical times as commonly reported, but instead were invented by a French poet in the 1500s. 

In one myth, Bacchus fell in love with a woman named Amethyste, who did not love Bacchus, and wanted to remain chaste. In her pursuit of chastity, she was transformed by a goddess into a pure white stone.

Bacchus, in apology for his actions, dyed the stone of Amethyste purple with his wine, creating the purple stone of Amethyst.

When used with the Third Eye Chakra, Amethyst is believed to enable clarity of mind, a strong intellect, and an intense imagination ripe for creating new ideas. 

When used with the Crown Chakra, Amethyst is thought to create a sense of unity, wholeness, and spiritual connection to one's higher self.

For these reasons, Amethyst is thought to be a great stone to meditate with, and is equally useful for inspiring creativity and allowing its user the space and mental power to visualise their dreams.
