*CLOSEOUT* Crushed Purple Amethyst Sand with Minor Smoky Quartz from Brazil, 2 Ounces, Medium Crush, Sand Size (2mm - 0.25mm)

Our "Closeout Corner" consists of leftover material from our regular stock that has some imperfections. This is due to natural factors such as: color variations, the presence of host rock, the presence of other auxiliary minerals, and/or staining due to natural weathering processes. Closeout crushed material is offered at a discount price and is a great option for makers who prefer a more rustic look with natural variation. 

***Closeout deals are not a part of our regular stock. These deals are limited in quantity - while supplies last.***

▏ABOUT ⧫ AMETHYST▕

Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust. Many gemstones, such as amethyst, rose quartz, and citrine, are quartz varieties that have trace amounts of other elements within their crystalline structure. These trace elements produce the diverse variety of colors that we see in quartz. 

Amethyst owes its violet hue to irradiation of trivalent iron. This particular batch of crushed amethyst is from Brazil, which is known for its clarity (little to no inclusions) and vivid, purple hue. This closeout amethyst is high quality with a minor amount of smoky quartz. 

▏MATERIAL ⧫ SIZE▕

Our medium material is considered to be sand sized (very coarse sand to fine sand), ranging between 2 millimeters to 0.25 millimeters. This size is great for most woodworking inlays, memorial and resin jewelry, orgonite pyramids, ring inlay, resin molds, mosaics, terrariums, bezel cups, resin art, embellishments, and metaphysical projects. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies.
