Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz that forms in the cavities of volcanic rocks. The violet color is caused by traces of iron and the effects of natural radiation during crystal formation. Amethysts grow over millions of years under specific geological conditions, with the intensity of the color depending on the concentration of iron ions and the temperature.

The rainbow effect in amethysts is caused by natural cracks and inclusions in the crystal that refract and reflect light, resulting in a dazzling play of colors. These special crystal formations, which resemble flowers, are created by the even and slow deposition of quartz layers, often influenced by temperature fluctuations and the chemical composition of the surrounding water.
