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 config) 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.
