The "Amethyst Effect" was scientifically demonstrated through spectral analysis demonstrating a change in infrared light when refracted through amethyst crystals. Scientists experimented passing far infrared light through a variety of substances, including various gems, glasses and plastics. Amethyst was found to be the only substance which clearly changed the spectrum of infrared light. Wave forms mimicked patterns similar to the human voice according to scientists. While no theory has yet been proposed regarding the Amethyst Effect, scientists hypothesize the infrared light passed through the amethyst, releases over 20 million years of information which is made available to the human body for healing purposes.

The field of Far Infrared Crystallography explains this effect in further detail. FIR refracted through amethyst crystals organizes the FIR into geometrical patterns with higher bio-compatibility. Korean researchers propose, addition of the amethyst allows for greater increase in the utilization of the light by the human organism.
