The rarest of these is the blue garnet, discovered in the late 1990s in Bekily, Madagascar. It is also found in parts of the United States, Russia and Turkey. It changes color from blue-green in the daylight to purple in incandescent light, as a result of the relatively high amounts of vanadium（V）. 不同种类的石榴石有很多不同的颜色，包括红、橙、黄、绿、蓝、紫、棕、黑、粉红及透明。 其中最罕见的蓝石榴石，于1990年代后期在马达加斯加贝基利（Bekily）首先被发现。此外在美国部分地区、俄罗斯及土耳其亦有其踪影。因为高钒含量的关系，它的颜色在白热光（incandescent）下会由蓝绿色转为紫色。 Amethyst（紫晶） Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet color to irradiation , iron impurities and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions . The hardness of the mineral is the same as quartz, thus it is suitable for use in jewelry. Pure quartz, traditionally called rock crystal (sometimes called clear quartz), is colorless and transparent or translucent. Common colored varieties include citrine, rose quartz(pink quartz), prasiolite, rutilated quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz and milky quartz. 紫晶是一种紫色的石英（SiO2），它的紫罗兰色具有独特的光彩，铁和其他微量元素是它的致色原因，也导致它独特的晶格结构。紫晶的硬度和石英一样，所以它很适合做珠宝。 纯净的石英，习惯上叫做水晶（有时也叫做无色的石英），它是无色的透明的或者半透明的。常见的石英有很多种类的颜色，包括黄晶，玫瑰晶（粉晶），绿晶，发晶，紫晶，烟晶和乳水晶。 Aquamarine（
