AMETHYST

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz and one of the most popular and widely recognized gemstones in the world. Its color ranges from light lavender to deep violet, depending on the amount of iron and natural radiation present during its formation.

Amethyst is valued not only for its beauty but also for its symbolism. It has long been associated with calmness, clarity, and protection. In ancient cultures, it was believed to prevent intoxication and promote clear thinking, which is why its name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated.”
