Obtaining
Mining
Shining Amethyst Shards spawn on Budding Amethyst. This vanilla block can be found in geodes, and naturally spawns amethyst shards over time. With SWEM added, there is a 25% chance (default) any full sized Amethyst shard grown on Budding Amethyst to become a 'shining' variant. These variants can be distinguished from the more common Amethyst shards by the blue-ish streaks on the clusters.
Shown: Shining Amethyst Shards (Left) next to a normal Amethyst Cluster.
Shining Amethyst Shards can be obtained from clusters by breaking it with any tool. Non-pickaxe tools (including no tool) drop around 2 shards, Pickaxes will drop 4, or more with the Fortune enchantment (Fortune III drops between 4-12 on average).
