This is an unusual, rare gemstone and remains a collector’s gemstone

The Facts
Green Amethyst is a Macrocrystalline Quartz (i.e. large crystal) and this group includes many popular gemstones such as Amethyst, Citrine and Ametrine. All forms of Quartz are Piezoelectric (i.e. when heated or rubbed they create an electrical charge becoming a magnet that attracts lightweight objects), making for important applications in electronics. Tourmaline is the only other gemstone that possesses this property
