AMETHYST

Inspiration – Protection – Insight 

What is Amethyst: Amethyst is crystalline quartz in colours ranging from pale lilac to deep reddish purple. Amethyst is found all over the world, in a variety of natural locations, but most commonly as crystals lining caves or voids in volcanic rock. The major sources for amethyst are Brazil and Uruguay.

History: Amethyst has been highly esteemed throughout the ages for its stunning beauty. It is a semi-precious stone in today’s classifications, but to the ancients it was a “Gem of Fire,” at times in history, valued as much as diamonds. 

Amethyst has a long association with February, the month the Romans dedicated to Neptune, their water-God, and is the traditional birthstone of that month.
