Amethyst jewelry is made froma a variety of macrocrystalline quartz which usually occurs in colors ranging from transparent pastel roses to deepest purples. The color hue is due to the presence of iron. One of the properties of iron is that it exhibits different colors according to its level of oxidation.  

Green amethyst, also known as prasiolite or vermarine, begins as a purple amethyst. The particular amethyst crystals which go to make green amethyst typically come from Brazil and to a lesser extent, Arizona.  When these quartz crystals are exposed to high temperatures and pressures, such as might occur natually in a volcano, or under the artificial conditions of a kiln, the iron within the gemstone becomes more oxidised and appears green.  This turns the amethyst gemstone into a green amethyst. 

Green amethysts are believed to have as many healing and spiritualist properties as purple amethyst gemstones.
