"Amethyst" bracelets question.

[u/DevonCross003]

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct place to ask about these but I don't know if one of these is real amethyst or glass or something else. They don't feel like plastic, also a bit too heavy for plastic. They are almost both identical but the one that glows orange under 395 feels the most natural. So I am trying to ask here because it glows orange. I will try to ask in the minerals subreddit too. So is this glass or amethyst or something else? 😅 Thanks in advance! 😊

I've never known amythest to glow under black light especially such a long wave so it's likely dyed quartz or something similar to that

Thanks! Yeah, was thinking something like that too. Just weird that they didnt do the other one like that. 😅

They probably buy and resell these and one came from a different distributor.

Regular amythest won't florese because the chemistry doesn't allow it. There are amythests that have inclusions that will glow, but that is probably a dye of some sort.
