Chevron amethyst (Cape Amethyst) shows V-shaped banding of white rock crystal and purple amethyst. The alternating iron concentrations during growth create the geometric chevron patterns.

Namibian deposits in the Brandberg region are a premium provenance for chevron amethyst. The material quality is classified by the sharpness of the V-lines.

Amethyst belongs to the quartz family. In chevron material, growth phases with high iron concentration alternate with those of clear rock crystal growth, creating the geometric banding.

The columnar dimension is among the larger chevron point classifications. The polished cut brings out the banding lines from multiple viewing angles.
