Amethyst is the purple variety within the quartz family and is mainly formed through hydrothermal processes. Like all quartz, amethyst consists of silicon dioxide. It owes its characteristic purple color to the metal iron. In some cases, small amounts of manganese also play a role as a coloring component.
