New Idea for Amethyst for the cave update.

Since the cave update is adding amethyst crystals to Minecraft I thought of an idea to make crystal blocks (or in this case amethyst blocks if no other crystals are being added), and like glass this crystal block could be placed on top of powered beacons, but unlike stained glass it does not change the color of the beacon, but strengthens the effect. So either it could increase beacon range or increase the level of effect given (haste 3 instead of haste 2, etc). This adds more use for finding and farming those amethyst patches for players who have multiple bases and beacons. I feel like amethyst needs more uses, because once you get a telescope, you wouldn't need anymore amethyst, so this gives them an important and useful ability for players in the late game of Minecraft.

Another way to make amethyst important to continue farming would be to give telescopes levels of magnification, that requires you to get more amethyst to make better and better telescopes. These are my ideas for the crystal/amethyst items being added, I hope anyone who sees this likes or has good critiques of these ideas.
