i didn't know it was iron. wow. that makes 4 colors i know of that come from iron. fun fact, if you heat it for a long period you can eliminate the purple, it turns orange.

I like this. 👍

Did you know that amethyst heated hot and long enough turns to citrine?

Very rare natural occurrences. Lots of rockshops will sell you orange brazillian amethyst that's just been baked by humans.
