Five acres, two little ones, one awesome husband, 12 ducks (give or take), and a bunch of fruit trees and garden beds. In her spare time, Nicole likes to knit, paint, draw, teach kids, make fairies & dragons, philosophize, and read fantasy. She doesn't HAVE spare time, but does like to fantasize about it!

I made them a few years ago but forgot how so I'll spend the first 10 min with a refresher course.

Iron (in quartz):
The most common purple mineral in rocks is amethyst, a variety of quartz that gets its color from iron impurities within the silicon-oxygen crystal structure.
Iron (in other minerals):
Ferric iron (Fe+3) is responsible for many red, yellow, and purple hues, often found in minerals like hematite and limonite.
