Is it amethyst ? ... or just an artificial object?

[Persona]

Hello all, I am new to here. Nice to meet you.
I have bought an small piece of "amethyst" around 10 years ago...
but I am not sure if it is natural or artificial / fake or real.
can you help me to identify? Thank you!

usually want to look for bubbles (excess amounts) which would indicate glass/dyed glass/glass slag - the cracks/imperfections confirm, for the most part, an actual crystal.

That being said, there are a lot of people that will take a "massive" amethyst with no natural terminations and cut/polish them into fake terminations. These terminations look natural but keep on the lookout.

It's a nice piece! I agree with the others, definitely cut into a termination. I dig crystals alot when there is no snow on the ground, and amethyst is definitely one of my favorites! It may also have to do with the fact that it was my grandmothers' favorite color, and that she had some nice amethyst jewelry, I loved her very much and miss her greatly, but every time I dig an amethyst, I think of her and it's great!
