Psudo Amethyst
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz and is a popular gemstone.
If it were not for its widespread availability, amethyst would be very expensive.
The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken."
This was maybe due to a belief that amethyst would ward off the effects
of alcohol, but most likely the Greeks were referring to the
almost wine-like color of some stones that they may have encountered.
Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones
are often compared to its color and beauty. Although it must always be
purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades. .

is the iron rich end member. Purpurite is a very rare mineral
that would get much attention in the semi-precious stone
market due to its striking color, if it were not for this rarity.
Purpurite is an alteration product of an equally rare mineral
called lithiophyllite, LiMnPO4. The alteration takes place atom by
atom and actually forms what is called a pseudomorph or "false shape".
A pseudomorph is a mineral that has the shape of one mineral but has
a different chemistry and/or structure.
