Amethyst is currently the highest level ore players can mine. It is used in the creation of high-level ranging ammunition: amethyst bolts, amethyst arrows, amethyst javelins and amethyst darts. Amethyst darts are commonly used with the Toxic blowpipe, especially among Ironmen.
Players can expect to mine anywhere from 80 to 100 amethyst per hour, depending on efficiency, for profits of 228,080-285,100 coins. Players may wish to bring a chisel with them to craft amethyst bolt tips, arrowtips, javelin tips or dart tips. These stack in your inventory allowing you to avoid banking indefinitely. However, crafting Amethyst this way is a longer process than simply banking the ore.
Unidentified Minerals obtained while mining may be exchanged for mining gloves, superior mining gloves, soft clay packs, or bags full of gems at Belona's Mining Guild Mineral Exchange. The Celestial Ring +4 invisible mining boost does stack with the +7 invisible boost from the Mining Guild when mining amethyst past 99 mining and should be worn at all times.
Due to the nature of the Grand Exchange, crafting Amethyst into other products can cut into overall profit.
