A player encountering a deposit of Amethyst.
Main article: Gems

Amethyst is a gem found within the Underground and Cavern layers of a world. They are obtained by breaking special blocks that have noticeable purple gemstones embedded in it. They can also be extracted from Silt, Slush, or Desert Fossil by putting them in an Extractinator. Rarely, Amethyst can be found in bulk in its own Gemstone Cave mini biome, or in one that contains all of the other gems as well (besides Amber). Out of all available gems, Amethyst is the least valuable gem.

On the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version, they can be crafted back into their Stone Block forms at a Heavy Work Bench in a Graveyard biome, and can be obtained by cutting down a Amethyst Gem Tree. They also have a 2/7 (28.57%) chance to be dropped by Geodes.

Like all other gems, Amethyst can be placed on blocks.
