Benefits
Amethyst tools have +400 durability over Minecraft Netherite tools (with the added benefit of non-mending repair options). All Amethyst tools have Efficiency 2 as part of their core abilities, though they can be enchanted further.
Efficiency II: Increased mining speed when used on an appropriate block (ie Axes > Wood or Pickaxes > Stone).
Enchanting
Amethyst Shovels can be used in an enchanting table or combined with enchanting books in an anvil (vanilla or cantazarite).
Repair
Durability is decreased with use (digging etc) like with normal tools.
Amethyst Shovels can be repaired with Cantazarite using a Cantazarite Anvil.

- [-] 1.18 Tools cannot be repaired in Cantazarite anvil - mending enchantment works. Fixed in 1.20.1
