About Stone: Most natural green amethysts were a purple amethyst, which were then heated by either volcanic activity or the natural heating of the earth’s core. It is possible to create manmade green coloured amethysts by heat treatment. It is important that you keep these gemstones away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight as this can easily affect the colour of the stones.
