Banded Amethyst

Banded Amethyst is a striking variety of quartz distinguished by its distinctive layers of rich purple hues alternating with white or clear quartz bands. These natural concentric stripes form as silica-rich fluids deposit over time in geodes and cavities within volcanic rocks.

With a Mohs hardness of 7, Banded Amethyst is durable enough for a wide range of jewelry and decorative uses. It is commonly sourced from Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia, where the interplay of color bands creates visually captivating patterns unique to each specimen.

Valued for both its aesthetic beauty and metaphysical qualities, Banded Amethyst is believed to enhance spiritual clarity, emotional balance, and protection, making it a meaningful addition to any collection.
