Description 

Amethyst, a semi-precious purple gemstone belonging to the quartz family, has been held in high regard for more than two millennia. Esteemed figures like Queen Cleopatra of Egypt, Leonardo da Vinci, and Queen Mary of Great Britain all had an affinity for amethyst. This enchanting purple stone, also known as an amethyst crystal, is composed of silica minerals, oxygen, and traces of iron, giving it its distinctive colour. The purple hue of amethyst is derived from the combination of iron and other trace elements, in addition to natural irradiation.

Throughout history, amethyst has been associated with spirituality and is renowned for its connection to both the third eye and the crown chakra. In ancient Greece, amethyst was believed to help avoid inebriation and overconsumption, leading to the creation of amethyst-adorned rings and drinking vessels. In ancient China, amethyst was used as an instrument to dispel negative energy and avert everyday perils. Today, amethyst is abundant in Africa, South America, and Bolivia, making it a widely accessible gemstone for enthusiasts around the world.
