Amethyst is one of the most expensive members of the crystal family. Amethyst means "not drunk" in ancient Greek, and in the medieval poetry of France, Bacchus the god of wine, irrigated the crystal with wine to give birth to this instantly recognizable purple. Some European royalty believed that amethyst contained mystical powers that helped the wearer gain status and power.
Amethyst can be light violet to dark purple in its primary color. It may display one or both of the secondary hues of red and blue. The best amethysts are found in Siberia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and the Far East. The best quality amethysts are called "Deep Siberian".
Amethyst is the birthstone of February and symbolizes fidelity and love. The sixth wedding anniversary gift of amethyst means a beautiful marriage.💜💜💜
