Chevron Amethyst (Collector's Corner)

Chevron Amethyst, also known as Dog Tooth Amethyst, is the name given to naturally occurring Amethyst and White Quartz in a banded or “V” pattern. This variety of Amethyst is found in the form of masses with the only known localities in the countries India, Russia, and Brazil. Its name is derived from the word that means “line in the shape of a V”. This mineral is often carved and shaped into trinkets such as pendulums, buddhas, eggs, palm stones, and animals. The offsetting colors, as well as the White Quartz addition, makes this combination stone highly sought after.
