Amethyst Origins and Information Amethyst, transparent purple quartz,
is the most important quartz variety used in jewelry. Amethyst
gemstones are mined in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia, Argentina and Siberia
as well as in Zambia, Namibia and other African countries. Generally,
amethyst from South America tends to be available in larger sizes than
African amethyst but amethyst from Africa has the reputation for having
better, more saturated, color in small sizes. Very dark amethyst,
mostly in small sizes, is also mined in Australia.
