Shangaan amethyst is a combination of amethyst, smoky quartz and clear quartz, with stunning lepidocrocite inclusions. Shangaan amethyst has only been available on the market for a few years, since it was discovered very recently. It is mined by the local people of the Shangaan tribe in Zimbabwe. The environment around the mine is unspoiled, and maintained by the Shangaan tribe, who ensure that all mining holes are re-filled and five trees are planted to replace every tree they remove.
