The Amethyst, a jewel of natural beauty, is the purple variety of the mineral quartz. This gemstone, like quartz, consists of silicon dioxide (SiO2), but with additional minor color-giving trace impurities of iron. Amethyst is a versatile gemstone that is both aesthetically and energetically valuable.

It crystallizes in thetrigonal crystal systemand forms prismatic, long crystals.

This beautiful specimen is a geode with a lovely crystal structure, making it a special collector's piece.

The origin of the name from the Greek ἀμέθυστος (amethystos), "counteracting intoxication," expresses the ancient belief that a wearer of amethyst would be protected against the intoxicating effect of wine. Likewise, wine drunk from an amethyst cup was thought not to make one drunk.

Another version of the naming is that Bacchus, the god of wine, frightened a young girl so much that she turned to crystal. The god then sighed, and as his breath touched the stone, it turned purple like the color of wine.
