Description

Amethyst is a popular and widely recognized gemstone that belongs to the quartz family. It is known for its beautiful purple color, which can range from pale lavender to deep violet. The name “amethyst” is derived from the Greek word “amethystos,” meaning “not drunk,” as ancient Greeks believed the stone could protect them from intoxication.

Amethyst gets its purple color from traces of iron impurities in the crystal lattice. The intensity of the purple hue can vary, and the most prized amethyst gemstones exhibit a deep, rich purple color with good transparency and minimal color zoning.

Amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable and suitable for everyday jewelry. However, like all gemstones, it can still be scratched or damaged by harder materials, so care should be taken during wear and storage.

Amethyst has been highly regarded for its metaphysical properties throughout history. It is often associated with qualities like calmness, balance, spiritual growth, and protection against negative energies. Many people use amethyst for meditation, stress relief, and enhancing spiritual awareness.

Amethyst is the birthstone for the month of February, and it is associated with the zodiac sign of Pisces. It is also a traditional gemstone for the 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries. In various cultures, amethyst has symbolized qualities like royalty, spirituality, clarity of mind, and protection.
