Veracruz Amethyst on Matrix

Veracruz Amethyst on Matrix Gorgeous Vera Cruz Amethyst is a beautiful and rare variety of quartz found only in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. It is said to have a variety of positive metaphysical properties that can help bring balance and serenity in one’s life. The stone appears in shades of purple, and is sometimes referred to as “purple rain” due to its unique coloration and appearance. Its hardness level on the Mohs scale is 7, making it an excellent choice for jewelry pieces that are meant to last a lifetime. Vera Cruz Amethyst is widely desired for its calming energy and ability to provide peace of mind. The crystal is now quite rare, as the mine was shut down many years ago. Because of its rarity, it is never used for gem purposes, but only as specimens. Unfortunately, the supply of amethyst specimens at Piedra Parada began to slow in the late 1990s. In recent years, the supply has stopped completely because of drug-related violence that has made the area very dangerous.
