Geology & Origin

Chevron Amethyst forms through repeated growth phases of Amethyst and milky Quartz within hydrothermal veins and cavities. The alternating deposition of these two Quartz varieties creates the characteristic patterns that have made this material popular worldwide. Tanzania is one of Africa's important sources of high quality Amethyst and regularly produces material with attractive coloration and well developed Chevron structures.
