Amethyst is a semi-precious gemstone filled with character and
steeped in historical references – not to mention, it’s rather
eye-catching.
No two Amethyst gemstones
are the same, but what is consistent is that it is a member of the
quartz family of minerals. An unusual quirk of this particular
stone is that its unique structure means that the colour of the
stones that are cut from the rough are never uniform in shade – you
will always get a nice variety of shades of violet or purple in
your Amethyst gemstones.
