These are the 4 growth stages of amethyst:Īmethyst starts as a small amethyst bud and then grows into a medium amethyst bud. Variations of amethyst will create beautiful sounds when you walk on them, break them, place them, or hit them with a projectile: Types of Amethyst

Amethyst will only grow on budding amethyst. You can also find amethyst blocks inside of the geode, but amethyst will not actually grow on these blocks. Within the inner layer of the Geode, you can find small amethyst buds, medium amethyst buds, large amethyst buds, and amethyst clusters growing on the budding amethyst blocks. The inside layer of a Geode is made out of various types of amethyst and looks like this: To mine calcite, you need to dig up the calcite with a pickaxe to get the drop ( same as when you are mining smooth basalt). The second layer of a Geode is made out of another stone called calcite and looks like this: And you will not be able to add the smooth basalt to your inventory. If you try to dig up the smooth basalt with your hand or other tool ( that is not a pickaxe), the small block of smooth basalt will not appear. To mine smooth basalt, you need to dig up the smooth basalt with a pickaxe. The outer layer of a Geode is made out of smooth basalt and looks like this: Other times, you will have to mine to find one.Ī Geode is made of 3 layers - the outer layer is smooth basalt, the second layer is calcite, and the inner layer is blocks of amethyst and budding amethyst (with different growth stages of amethyst). It is found underground in the Overworld, sometimes at the end of an underground cave system. In Minecraft, a Geode is a structure that spawns naturally in the game. We will continue to show them individually for version history.
