The cannibalistic lover took a bite of the heart only to find beautiful purple teeth with rainbows staring back at them. Amethyst can often form within agate due to the geological processes involved in the formation of both minerals. When amethyst is formed within agate, it typically occurs in layers or bands of varying colors and textures. The presence of iron impurities in the silica-rich solutions gives amethyst its characteristic purple color. As the silica-rich solutions fill the cavities in the agate, they deposit layers of amethyst crystals along with other minerals, creating the unique banded patterns that agate is known for.
The formation of amethyst within agate can result in stunning specimens with a combination of the calming energy of amethyst and the grounding properties of agate. This amethyst agate heart with rainbow amethyst teeth measures 4.5” x 4.25”.
