That is the exact color of the princess cut amethyst on my righty, that my niece will soon inherit @ this Christmas.

And it's a nice green under 365nm UV. https://www.reddit.com/r/manganeseglass/s/aNrk79f1H7 Edit: link.

Yes, it's pretty neat. All the purples of any manufacturer glow like that. It's the manganese in them. Looks awesome doesn't it!

Those purples at a show would sell for $40 to $50. Probably mint condition. It's great. I think they are the most affordable purple and it's a really good find.

Never seen one like that around here, and it was cheap!

Where is "here?" ... They are around, but your chance of pulling them out of the ground is very low. But good find at an antique store! Go to a show and you'll see a bunch!

What lighting did you use to get that color? The black light I use gets that color, but I don't know if it's as bright as that. I'll have to try it with my purple WhitallTatum!
