It is called "amethyst" in English and is highly regarded among the color variations of quartz.Purple crystal.

Dendrite agate, also known as "tree shape stone," is reminiscent of plant fossils. Its true form, which can also resemble moss, consists of extremely fine metallic minerals that have settled in the cracks of minerals and rocks.Particles.

Rutilated quartz (needle quartz) contains countless needle-like inclusions in gold and silver colors trapped within a transparent crystal. Each piece shows a different expression depending on the color, thickness, and density of the needles. High-purity rutiles have a color close to silver. The presence of trace amounts of iron causes the needle color to change to yellow. Since rutiles reflect light well, they appear to shine more like gold than yellow. In the collection, both silver and gold colors are selected.
Like the dendritic agate mentioned earlier, moss aquamarine features impressive inclusions that resemble moss. The patterns are created by the iron and titanium oxide mineral, ilmenite. Moss aquamarine is already a rare natural stone, but pieces like this one, which exhibit bluish-white light (schiller) reminiscent of moonstone in certain areas, are particularly rare.

Compared to rutile quartz, which also has needle-like inclusions, it is characterized by solid black needles that give a geometric impression.
