About Amethyst

Amethyst is a well-known and highly regarded variety of quartz (SiO₂), valued for its purple coloration ranging from soft lavender to deep royal violet. Its color is created by trace amounts of iron combined with natural irradiation during crystal formation.

Historically associated with royalty and fine jewelry, amethyst has been worn for centuries and remains popular due to its beauty, affordability, and durability. It is the February birthstone and is traditionally associated with clarity, calmness, and balance.

With a Mohs hardness of 7, amethyst is suitable for everyday wear when properly set, offering an excellent balance of durability and visual appeal.
