Amethyst - the royal purple

Amethyst is the most precious gem stone of the quarts family. The colour of amethyst, which can range from pale lilac to deep purple, is often associated with royalty. And there is no denying that amethyst is a royally beautiful gem.

Through the ages, amethyst has been associated with many mystical qualities. For example the Greeks believed that amethyst prevented people from getting intoxicated by wine and wore amethyst jewelry to be able to drink wine with impunity. No doubt the amethyst jewelry did not prevent intoxication, but at least the Greeks would have looked good!

In the middle ages amethyst was believed to bring calmness and increase intelligence. Amethyst was also associated with the Catholic Church and amethyst rings were (and sometimes still are) worn by bishops.

The birthstone for February, amethyst is a highly suitable and popular gem for jewelry. It is durable enough for everyday wear, comes in many cuts and sizes and a variety of regal tones. Amethyst jewelry is both beautiful and affordable. Amethyst is also a recommended gemstone for sixth wedding anniversaries.
