Amethyst

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, known for its stunning violet to deep purple hues. It is one of the most popular and widely recognized gemstones in the world. The purple coloration is caused by trace amounts of iron impurities within the crystal lattice.

Throughout history, amethyst has been highly prized for its beauty and believed to possess various metaphysical properties. It is often associated with qualities such as calmness, clarity of mind, spiritual protection, and inner strength. Amethyst has been used in jewelry, sculptures, and decorative objects for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

Today, amethyst remains a popular gemstone for both its aesthetic appeal and its perceived healing and spiritual properties. It is commonly used in jewelry pieces such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, as well as in crystal healing practices and spiritual rituals.
