The name Amethyst is derived from the Greek word ametusthos, meaning “not intoxicated", and comes from an ancient legend.
Amethyst has been highly sought after throughout the ages for its pure beauty and mystical powers to stimulate, soothe the mind and emotions. Amethyst is a semi-precious stone today but to legends, it was a “Gem of Fire"; a Precious Stone worth (sometimes in history) as much as a Diamond. Amethyst has always been associated with February (before it was the birthstone), the Romans dedicated Amethyst to Neptune, their water-god.
Amethyst is a gem which it’s beauty transcends its common hood. It is a variety of Quartz found in many locations around the world. It forms as transparent, terminated crystals of all sizes in geodes, clusters and as long single terminations. It is also found to be transparent and simply does beautifully polished into wonderful specimens and personal talismans. The chemical properties of manganese in clear Quartz produces Amethyst, while additional amounts of iron vary the purple coloration. Amethyst ranges in hue from pale red-violet to deep violet and may be transparent or opaque.
