The process of transformation


Green amethyst is created by the influence of heat and pressure, often caused in nature by volcanic activity, on a purple amethyst found in the earth. This natural process changes the structure of the amethyst and results in a remarkable color change.

The art of creating green amethyst


In modern times, man has learned to mimic this natural process. By heating the purple amethyst in a controlled environment, such as a special oven, the color transformation to green can be achieved. The heat treatment affects the crystal structure and accelerates the oxidation of the iron present, which leads to the green color.

The result: A beautiful green amethyst

After the heat treatment, the purple amethyst is cooled and then cut and polished. The result is a green amethyst that is similar in appearance to naturally formed green amethyst. The crystal shows a beautiful green color, varying from light green to deep green, and radiates a brilliant shine.
