Amethyst belongs to the quartz group and varies from a light lavender to a deep and rich purple. Situated all over the world, its origins lay in the geodes and cavities of Brazil, Uruguay and Madagascar. The name was derived from an Ancient Greek myth, meaning non intoxicated.

For many years Amethyst has been appreciated for its beauty and unique powers. In ancient times it was considered the gem of kings and queens. Now it is said to be the stone of loved ones, offering protection, wealth and peace to those who wear it.
