Amethyst. A purple so deep and inviting, you could loose yourself just staring at it’s beauty! This variety of Quartz is the perfect harmony of red and blue. When the light hits the gem just right, you can see flashes of these two colors radiating from within.
The word Amethyst comes from the ancient Greek “Amethustos”, which means, “not drunk”! They wore this purple beauty often, as it was believed to prevent drunkenness! Also favored by royalty for centuries as the royal color. Ancients also believed the gem would give them immunity to certain poisons.
