Amethyst

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, appreciated for its range from gentle lilac to deep violet. Its colour and relatively good resistance to scratching make it familiar in pendants, earrings, rings and bracelets. Like other jewellery stones, it still deserves protection from hard knocks and careless storage.

Purple quartz has featured in decorative arts and jewellery for centuries. Cultural traditions have linked its violet colour with composure and reflection; these are symbolic associations, not medical effects.
