Amethyst Ore is a four-star collectible item in the Roblox survival game Fatal Floors, created by FaultyMarkus Games. It is the second-rarest naturally generating ore in the game and sells for 75 coins at the Sell Bin. Visually, it appears as an uneven, dark-gray stone block with six purple square crystal fragments protruding from each face, carrying the humorous tooltip "I'm purple ok?".
Picking up an Amethyst Ore awards the official Roblox badge "Epic Find" and provides essential revenue toward meeting the elevator quota on deeper floors.
Amethyst Ore Stats and Ore Comparison
Ores serve as the primary source of income in Fatal Floors. While all five ore varieties share the same base geometric model, they differ in color, star rarity, and Sell Bin payout. Amethyst Ore ranks as the third most expensive item to sell in the entire game.
| Ore Name | Star Rarity | Color | Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Ore | ★ | Gray | Not confirmed |
| Jade Ore | ★★ | Green | Not confirmed |
| Amber Ore | ★★★ | Orange | 35 coins |
| Amethyst Ore | ★★★★ | Purple | 75 coins |
| Gold Ore | ★★★★★ | Gold | 100 coins |
Prices and rarities for Iron and Jade are visually categorized by one and two stars in the game interface, but their exact sell prices are not documented in the current official records. Gold Ore sits above Amethyst Ore at 100 coins, while Amber Ore trails below it at 35 coins.
How to Find and Obtain Amethyst Ore
Amethyst Ore cannot be purchased from the intermission Upgrade Shop, nor can it be chosen as a starting class item (unlike Gold Ore, which is granted to The Hoarder class). Players must locate it naturally generated across the map.
Amethyst Ore can spawn on or inside the following specific room tiles:
- Beanbags
- Benches
- Blocks (both variants)
- Bookshelves (excluding fully packed bookshelves)
- Log Benches
- Empty Pots
- Shelves
- Tables
If an Amethyst Ore falls or is thrown outside the floor boundary, the game respawns it on a random valid tile on the active map. If no valid tiles remain on the floor, the dropped ore despawns permanently.
Storage and Handling Mechanics
Carrying capacity is limited during floor runs, making storage management vital when gathering high-value ores like Amethyst.
- Storage Pots: You can deposit and withdraw Amethyst Ore one piece at a time from a Storage Pot. Each Storage Pot can only hold a single item type at a time, meaning you cannot mix Amethyst Ore with Iron, Jade, Amber, or tools in the same container. Storing 100 Amethyst Ores into a single pot satisfies the requirements for the five-star "Heavy!" achievement.
- Giant Kiwi Nest Interactions: Players can place Amethyst Ore into an empty spot in a Giant Kiwi Nest. The placement or removal animation takes 6 seconds. Inserting an ore calms an enraged Giant Kiwi and acts as a decoy in place of a Giant Egg. However, community strategy guides strongly recommend against using Amethyst Ore as bait because its 75-coin sell price exceeds the value of a Cooked Giant Egg. If the intermission begins while the Giant Kiwi is sitting on a nest containing your Amethyst Ore, the bird, nest, and ore will all despawn.
Achievements Related to Amethyst Ore
Collecting and handling Amethyst Ore contributes directly toward profile badges in Fatal Floors:

- Heavy!: Awarded for placing 100 items into a single Storage Pot. This can be completed using 100 units of Amethyst Ore.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy Amethyst Ore in the Upgrade Shop?
No. Ores are the only obtainable items in Fatal Floors that cannot be bought or voted on in the Upgrade Shop. They must be collected inside the floors.
How much does Amethyst Ore sell for?
Depositing Amethyst Ore into the Sell Bin awards 75 coins per piece, triggering the cash register sound effect upon sale.
Should you use Amethyst Ore as a decoy for the Giant Kiwi?
While the game allows you to pacify an enraged Giant Kiwi by placing an Amethyst Ore in her nest, it is not recommended. Amethyst Ore sells for 75 coins, making it far too valuable to sacrifice as decoy bait compared to raw eggs or cheaper items.
