So, I used the value of a single shard as a unit of measurement for my estimation. When a fully grown cluster is broken, it also drops four shards. One block of amethyst is made up of four shards.

We can also safely predict that the clusters might be worth more than the blocks, because of their unique shape.Īlright, onto the carats! I promised we'd calculate this later, so here we go! Since I don't totally know how to do pixel measurements of our clusters, I decided to estimate based off of crafting recipes and drops. Its surface looks scratched and cracked, and would be worth significantly less.įinally, we need to take into account for any unique formations and aesthetics how interesting looking is our amethyst? Well, since it only spawns in massive geodes, we can safely say it will be worth more than just one block alone. For this reason (and because you can't break it anyway) I'm going to eliminate the budding amethyst blocks from our calculations. Any chips or scratches in our gemstones will decrease its value. This knowledge allows us to infer that the blocks and fully grown clusters will be worth more than the buds or single shards.Īfter size is quality. (We'll get to that calculation later, I promise!) Obviously, the bigger the crystal, the more its worth. Next is size, usually measured in carats. Our Minecraft amethysts are a beautiful shade, but not as deep as some of the real world gems I saw during my research, so we'll infer that its colour will add some value, but not too much.
Per my research, the deeper or darker the shade of purple, the more an amethyst is worth. Amethysts are world renowned for being gorgeous shades of purple. Now onto the science! Just like with diamonds, amethysts have multiple factors that contribute to their worth. Finally, there are single crystals, used to craft spyglasses. The crystals, or buds, come in four sizes: small, medium, large and fully grown. Budding amethyst is special because it cannot be broken, however, if left untouched, it will grow more amethyst clusters and crystals over time. They are made up of two kinds of blocks, regular and budding amethyst. They're these massive, beautiful purple structures that generate deep underground. Minecraft added amethyst geodes in version 1.17. So, inspired by the diamond armour episode, let's see how much one of those is worth! As soon as I saw this thing, my theorist senses began to tingle! Amethyst is a real world material, after all. Today (or three days ago when I started this) I set out to determine how much a Minecraft amethyst geode would be worth in real world dollars.
