how to identify amethyst geode?

amethyst geode

One way to identify an amethyst geode is by itspurple color. Amethyst is a variety of quartz that ranges in color from pale lilac to deep purple. Geodes are rocks that have a hollow center, and amethyst geodes typically have crystals lining the inside of the cavity. The outside of an amethyst geode may be dull or shiny, but the inside should be sparkly and bright. If you see a rock that meets these criteria, it's likely an amethyst geode!

 

Another way to identify an amethyst geode is by its size and shape. Geodes can vary in size from small stones to large boulders, but they typically have a rounded shape. Amethyst geodes also tend to be heavier than other types of rocks. If you pick up a suspect rock and it feels heavier than expected, it could be an amethyst geode.

 

You can also try tapping the rock with a hammer. Geodes have a hollow center, so if you hear a ringing sound when you tap it, that's another good sign that you've found an amethyst geode. Of course, this test won't work if the rock is too small to fit in your hand!
