Its seeds were later taken along the Silk Road towards the far East and to Europe where it was widely cultivated until the 18th century, when it began to be replaced by the garden strawberry, ( Fragaria × ananassa ), which has much larger fruit and showed greater variation, making them better suited for further breeding.

Its most common isotopes are < sup > 241 </ sup > Am and < sup > 243 </ sup > Am.

Its chemical and physical properties are so similar to that of natural amethyst that it can not be differentiated with absolute certainty without advanced gemnological testing ( which is often cost-prohibitive ).
