 Amethyst – The Gem of Calm, Clarity & Creativity

There’s something magical about purple — it’s elegant, royal, and serene all at once.
 These are the very traits that make Amethyst one of the most enchanting gemstones in the world. Whether set in a pendant, a delicate bracelet, or a pair of diamond-accented earrings, this violet beauty instantly elevates any piece into something extraordinary.

🪶 Overview

Amethyst is the most valuable variety of the Quartz family — a symbol of purity and spiritual strength. The name comes from the Greek word “Amethystos”, meaning “not intoxicated”, as it was believed to protect its wearer from overindulgence and negative thoughts.

• Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale (suitable for everyday wear)
• Colour Range: Lilac to deep royal purple
• Composition: Silicon dioxide with iron traces causing its colour
• Meaning: Symbolizes peace, emotional balance, and wisdom
  
  

🏺 History & Mythology

Greek mythology says the stone originated when Goddess Diana transformed a maiden named Amethyst into quartz to protect her from Dionysus. His spilled wine turned the crystal purple — giving birth to this legendary gem.

Amethyst later adorned royal crowns and clerical rings across Europe and Asia.
 In India, it’s known to bring clarity of thought and devotion, often linked with Lord Shiva due to its meditative energy.

🧼 Caring for Amethyst Jewellery
