ABOUT AMETHYST

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, known as the “Stone of Spiritual Growth”. Ranging in color from lilac to deep purple, with a hexagonal crystal structure and hardness of 7, it is a durable and beautiful stone. Fun fact – when the right minerals are present, amethyst can over time become citrine. Amethyst is the birthstone for February.

Prized and worn for thousands of years, amethyst is associated with spiritual awareness, personal growth, and enlightenment. Often used for meditation, it is believed to be an excellent stone for mental clarity, emotional balance, and protection against negativity.
