Today, it remains one of the most popular colored gemstones worldwide.
February Birthstone: As the official birthstone for February, amethyst makes deeply personal birthday gifts. Its purple color symbolizes wisdom, clarity of mind, and spiritual awareness.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Amethyst:
Q: Is amethyst a real gemstone or just colored glass?
A: Amethyst is 100% real! It's a variety of quartz (silicon dioxide) colored purple by natural iron impurities. Our amethysts are genuine natural gemstones formed over millions of years - never synthetic, never glass, never treated. Each comes with our authenticity guarantee.
Q: Why are some amethysts more expensive than others?
A: Quality factors: (1) Color depth - Deep Siberian purple is most valuable, pale lavender is less expensive. (2) Clarity - Eye-clean stones cost more than included ones. (3) Size - Larger high-quality amethysts are rarer. (4) Cut quality - Precision cutting adds value. All our amethysts are natural; you're choosing quality level based on budget!
Q: What's the difference between cheap and expensive amethyst?
A: Quality factors include color depth, clarity, size, and cut precision. All our amethysts are 100% natural - you're choosing quality level based on your budget and needs!
Q: Is amethyst durable enough for everyday jewelry?
A: Yes! Amethyst rates 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for rings, pendants, and earrings with proper care. It's harder than glass (5.5) and durable for daily wear. Just avoid harsh impacts and prolonged sun exposure (which can fade color over time).
Q: Can I get my amethyst certified?
A: Absolutely! Independent gemological certification is available upon request for all our amethysts. Certification provides detailed analysis of color, clarity, carat weight, dimensions, and confirms natural origin. Especially recommended for premium specimens.
Q: What's the best amethyst color for engagement rings?
A: Personal preference matters most! Deep purple (Siberian) creates dramatic, luxurious rings. Royal purple offers classic amethyst beauty. Lavender provides soft, romantic elegance. All are beautiful - choose the shade that resonates with you!
Q: Do amethysts have spiritual properties?
A: Throughout history, amethyst has been associated with peace, spiritual awareness, clarity of mind, and protection. Ancient Greeks believed it promoted clear thinking. Whether you embrace these metaphysical beliefs or simply love the purple beauty, amethyst carries rich symbolism and meaning.
