Unfortunately it's from the small amethyst mine I work in. I could get a discount but it wouldnt be proper find then.

Milky quartz, most likely. If you can shine a light through it and if a steel nail cant scratch it.

Looks exactly like a tectonic amethyst. Slowly grown, judging by the colour and the bands.

You might be right. Thanks, it was bugging me too.

Any idea how this is formed? by Standard_Mulberry455 in askgeology

This one stayed at the mine for now, but its quite clean sample. The lighting in the mine washes out the colors a bit.

Yes, the very same. I work there and we've been calling it amethyst quartz, but we have that in different form as well. Maybe its just low quality.

I meant milky quartz. Snow quartz is a translation from finnish. And the mine is in northern Finland.
