Description: Amethyst is a striking variety of quartz known for its captivating purple hue, which can range from delicate lavender to deep violet. Its color comes primarily from trace amounts of iron within the crystal structure, combined with natural irradiation over time. Amethyst is prized both as a gemstone and for its decorative appeal, often cut into faceted stones for jewelry or carved into ornamental shapes. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it’s durable enough for everyday wear while retaining a brilliant luster.
Fun Fact: In ancient Greece and Rome, amethyst was believed to prevent intoxication—its name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not drunken.” People would even drink from amethyst cups, thinking it would keep them sober.
