Heating/irradiating amethyst (which is purple, not green) to a
deeper purple is a perfectly acceptable enhancement. Heating ruby to
make it a better red is another acceptable enhancement. It's the same
with sapphire, topaz and many other gemstones. These are actual
enhancements - they enhance the color (and often clarity) of the
stone. But heating/irradiating purple amethyst to make it a different
color is not an enhancement to the original color of the stone, it is
changing it to a different variety of stone. It is no longer amethyst
in any way. I don't understand why some people don't get that.
