Amethysts are very light miscellaneous items that can be found all around Skyrim. Due to their exceptional value and light weight, Amethysts are a very good source of income. They can also be used in the crafting of jewelry, and are seldom used in quests. Amethysts can also be used to create Void Salts at the Atronach Forge. A variation of the Amethyst is the Flawless Amethyst. Amethysts are one of the least valuable precious gems, with only garnets being cheaper. They are relatively easy to find and become common loot with the Prowler's Profit effect.
