Amethyst has captivated gem enthusiasts and jewelers for centuries. Early Greeks believed the stone's deep purple hue could ward off intoxication — a belief that gave amethyst its name. Today, amethyst remains the most popular and valuable member of the quartz gemstone family, prized for its rich color, natural clarity, and the remarkably large crystals in which it is found. These marquise-cut genuine amethysts display a light to medium dark purple tone that suits a wide range of fine jewelry applications, from rings and pendants to earrings and custom metalwork.
Amethyst is the birthstone for February and makes an excellent choice for resale in finished jewelry or as a loose stone offering. To preserve their beauty, clean these stones with warm, soapy water. Ultrasonic cleaning is generally considered safe; however, never expose amethyst to a steam cleaner.
