MY PERSONAL CONCLUSION REGARDING THIS GEMSTONE:
COMMON QUARTZ IN ITS NATURAL STATE IS COLORLESS, THOUGH TRACE ELEMENT IMPURITIES CAN IN RARE INSTANCES MAKE IT PALE BLUE OR GOLDEN BROWN TO YELLOW ORANGE TO PURPLE. PURPE VIOLET QUARTZ IS CALLED AMETHYST. NATURAL AMETHYST IS ABUNDANT AND RARELY SYNTHESIZED.
MY CONCLUSION:  IT IS PROPABLY NATURAL AMETHIST QUARTZ GEMSTONES
 
DISCLAIMER: THIS GEMSTONES BELONGED TO A FAMILY MEMBER THAT HAS PASSED AWAY. HE COLLECTED GEMSTONES DURING THE EARLY TWENTY FIRST CENTURY MANY WERE BOUGHT ON EBAY AND OTHERS BY TRAVELLING TO OTHER COUNTRIES. I AM NO GEMSTONE EXPERT AND COULD ONLY PERFORM SOME PRELIMINARY TESTS - ADVANCED INTRUMENTS ARE NEEDED TO DISTINGUISH ONE GEMSTONE FROM ANOTHER AND TO CONFIRM IF IT IS NATURAL OR LAB MADE.
 
AMETHYST:
In antiquity, the most valuable gems were known as the cardinal gems.  They included Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Amethyst. Amethyst no longer appears on this list. What happened? The answer is that extensive amethyst deposits were discovered in South America in the early 19th century, and Amethyst was no longer regarded as a rare gem.
Historically, fine Amethyst came from the Ural Mountains in Russia and in Germany. Both of these deposits are now exhausted. Very large deposits were discovered in southern Brazil in the early 19th century. In the 1950's high quality amethyst was found in Zambia.
Amethyst occurs in primary hues from a light pinkish violet color to a deep purple color. Many amethyst collectors search out the deepest purples they can find.
Most fine Amethyst is very clean and completely untreated and can be found in large sizes. It's quite a durable gem and is suitable for all kinds of jewelry.
