Ah, banded/chevron amethyst is a bit more of a "special type" of amethyst. Oh well, another mystery explored but not solved hehe.
You could always try again!
In other news, I had a dream last night where my sister wanted to trade me for 2 purple pens I had received, and she brought out a giant (2x3ft) carved amethyst horse. It was all one solid shade of purple so I was very wary that it might be fake, so we scoured it under different lights and learned that it was actually pieced together from different stones that had difference levels of translucence, so that assured me it was real stone.
In retrospect upon waking, it really looked more like lavender jade than amethyst, but the dream is still strangely applicable to the thread.
ETA: This dream occurred "at school".
