How is an amethyst elestial formed?

Amethyst elestials are formed through a complex process over hundreds of thousands of years.  Typically, you will find them growing deep underground in cavities where hot mineral-rich solutions were able to flow through the cracks and fissures in the rock.  As these cavities were able to cool and evaporate over the years, the solution was able to shape, giving the amethyst its intricate pattern of terminations as well as its unique shape.  As these crystals began to grow, it was often subject to pressure and stress from the surrounding rock, which caused the crystal to bend, resulting in the “elestial” appearance you see.

Naturally terminated over the entire body, these crystals can display layers of crystalline markings and etching, which is usually referred to as skeletal quartz because of this form.  If you ever find an amethyst elestial, it will mostly be smoky in color.

Mainly, you will find deposits in Brazil, but you can find them in other parts of the world, such as India and Namibia.

What are amethyst elestials?

Amethyst elestials, sometimes referred to as skeletal amethyst, are deep purple in color and feature “elestial” etchings on the sides as well as the phantom crystals seen inside.  These were formed when the crystal growth was interrupted over the years.  Picture it almost like a layer of an onion when you peel it.  Sometimes, when the last layer completes, you’re able to look into it, seeing throughout the layers within.  Depending on the amethyst elestial you have, some you may not be able to see through all the layers whereas others may allow you to do so.  This makes each one extremely unique.

As for the color, like amethyst, the minerals within, such as iron and other trace elements, will create the purple.  In this case, the intensity of the purple will depend on the impurities present as well as the conditions the crystal grew.  Usually, the deeper the purple, the more value it has.

To determine if it’s an “elestial” in general, you will have to look for the multiple terminations covering the crystal as well as look for patterns etched into the surface.
