About Amethyst

Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz, ranging from soft lavender to deep purple. Its color comes from trace amounts of iron and natural irradiation within the crystal.

Loved for both its beauty and spiritual symbolism, amethyst has been used in jewelry, ceremonial objects, and protective talismans for centuries.

Symbolism
