The purple color comes from iron impurities and natural irradiation within the crystal lattice during formation. Madagascar is one of the world's most respected amethyst sources, producing material with consistent deep violet color and good clarity. The island's deposits sit in pegmatite and alluvial formations in the central highlands. On the market: heat treatment is common in amethyst and affects color; natural untreated material from Madagascar is generally sold as such. Look for natural color zoning as a sign of untreated stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Sourcing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe source this material through a community partnership in Madagascar, tracing the supply chain as far upstream as we're able.
