Then, that is when trace amounts of iron are incorporated into a growing quartz crystal. After that, after crystallization, gamma rays, emitted by radioactive materials within the host rock, irradiate the iron to produce the purple color. Furthermore, the intensity of amethyst’s purple color can vary from one part of the crystal to another. Lastly, these color variations, known as “color zoning,” are caused by varying amounts of iron being incorporated into the crystal during different stages of crystal growth.
