Amethyst is a tripartite crystal system, the crystal is hexagonal columnar, the cylindrical surface is transverse, there are left shape and right shape, twin-crystal is very common. The hardness is 7. The crystal often contains irregular or winged gas-liquid inclusions.
Aquamarine quality is evaluated from color, clarity, cut and weight. Pure color, no gray, no dichroism, thick and bright color of the highest value. Some aquamarine with directional inclusions can be processed into cat’s eye effect or starlight effect, and aquamarine with special optical effect is more expensive. Aquamarine with the same color, clarity and cut is more valuable if it weighs more.
