Light or Dark Amethyst? All you Need to Know

It is found in varying shades of purple, and can also for the same reason, vary in price. From pale lavender coloured amethyst to super dark, almost blackish in coloured amethyst, all have varying degrees of healing abilities and natural beauty. Here are some variations of Amethyst relating to its colour difference.

Ametrine is a mixture of light purple Amethyst and yellow Citrine. It also shows the healing properties of both the stones. It is most famously known by its trade name, Bolivianite because almost all the Ametrine present in the world today is mined in Bolivia.

Dark Amethyst is the variety with the deepest shade of purple. With amethyst, the depth of its purple colour is directly proportionate to its price. It looks good, makes you feel great, and provide you with a spiritual confidence boost, making it worth its price tag.

This variety of Amethyst moves slightly towards the pinker shade. It’s a stone that brings out the energies of love and affection in a person. It is also known for dream magic and mystical prowess. This ghostly looking stone is perfect to keep close while meditating.

Amethyst belongs to the quartz family, which means in its natural form, it is found sitting on top of heaps of clear or white quartz. This variation is also used for its many benefits. It is usually turned into a spear-point-type ornament and worn in necklaces or bracelets.

Amethyst is always purple. But the degree of its colour’s intensity is what determines its metaphysical and visual appearance.
