How to mine Amethyst Cluster
The best tool for Amethyst Cluster is the Pickaxe. To get the block as a drop you need any tool (or even your hand). With a hardness of 1.5, it is quick to break.
When mined it drops Amethyst Shard and Amethyst Shard instead of itself — use a Silk Touch tool to collect the block itself.

Low blast resistance — explosions destroy it easily. It also gives off light level 5, a soft glow that is too dim to stop mob spawns on its own.
