Phantom Amethyst with Rainbow – Diamond shape 5.3 cm

Phantom Amethyst in Diamond Shape – a Truly Magical Unique Piece from Brazil

This special amethyst has been precisely hand-cut into a noble diamond shape and displays beautiful phantoms inside as well as a strong rainbow effect 🌈. The fascinating phantom layers form when the crystal’s growth is interrupted and then continues—each layer tells a chronological stage of its formation. A true natural treasure of Earth’s history.

🔬 Formation of Amethyst

Amethyst is a variety of quartz and forms over millions of years in cavities of volcanic rocks. Its purple color is due to iron and manganese minerals as well as natural radiation inside the Earth. In phantom amethyst, you can also see traces of its slowly progressing growth—it contains so-called phantoms, delicate inner crystal layers.
