Description
Amethyst is the most popular and valuable stone in the quartz family, prized for its rich purple color that ranges from light lavender to medium-dark violet. According to early Greek tradition, the wine-like purple hue was believed to ward off drunkenness — a legend that has made amethyst one of the most storied gemstones in history. These genuine faceted pear-shaped amethysts are heat-treated for enhanced color and are generally eye-clean, making them well-suited for use in finished jewelry designs and resale settings.
Amethyst is the birthstone for February. Care is straightforward: clean with warm, soapy water. Ultrasonic cleaning is generally considered safe. Never use a steam cleaner with amethyst.
