Depending on the light, it shimmers with a pale purple, but eyes can be tricked and I believe that this is actually Smoky Quartz, not Amethyst.
I got this piece from a stall at the Grassy Creek Gem Festival in Spruce Pine, NC. It was in the vendor's bargain bin and although he didn't have info on the locality for three bucks I couldn't resist. :3
You'll find that buying pieces on the cheap is a common theme in my collection! xD

it could be an amethyst. amethyst are basically quartz with iron impurities. has the same crystal habit and structure as Quartz (since both are the same). Had to look it up a bit, but amethyst can go down to a very light pinkish-purple (but can also be reddish or blueish). so you just might have one :) i can readily see the purple in there.
February's birthstone, yay!!!
