February Gemstone Amethyst
by Lauren B Team
June 9, 2015Amethyst is a purple or violet variety of quartz and is often used in jewelry. This gemstone derives its name from the Greek word “amethystos” which means not drunken, as it was used in mythology to keep its wearers sober and more aware. The ideal color of amethyst is called "Deep Siberian" and has a primary purple hue. There are also green quartz varieties which are called green amethyst. This semi-precious gemstone is largely produced and mined in various South American countries and Russia. The rich purple amethysts were a favorite of royalty, as it was a symbol of their heightened stature in society. Legend has it that amethysts can make the wearer shrewder in business dealings as well.
