Medium Amethyst is a captivating variety of crystalline quartz, celebrated for its balanced violet hues that range from soft lilac to rich grape tones. This semi-precious stone owes its signature color to trace amounts of iron and natural irradiation within its trigonal crystal structure. Ranking a 7 on the Mohs scale, it offers excellent durability for both ornamental and architectural features. Historically, its name stems from the Greek amethystos, reflecting an ancient belief in the stone's power to instill clear-headedness. Interestingly, while primarily prized for its purple brilliance, this mineral can transform into golden citrine or green prasiolite when exposed to specific levels of high heat.

The material
Semi-precious slabs are cut from strongly colored minerals, often quartz, agate, or jasper. They are usually used as feature walls, bar tops, and accents rather than as a full kitchen. Pattern and color are highly individual, so the piece in stock is the one to design from.
