============================================================
1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
Amethyst is one of the most beloved members of the quartz family. Its main component is silicon dioxide (SiO₂), with a Mohs hardness of 7, and it takes on purple color from trace amounts of iron and manganese.
Main deposits: Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, Madagascar, India, South Africa, Argentina and South Korea.
Regional character: Uruguayan amethyst has a deep, vivid purple with a wine-red glow and is considered the finest tone; Brazilian material is the most abundant but paler or eggplant-purple; Zambian amethyst is dark, sometimes near black-purple.
Amethyst usually forms in inward-growing geodes, while outward-growing amethyst clusters are rare.
2. HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Amethyst is the February birthstone: the ancient Greeks believed it prevented intoxication ('amethystos' means 'not intoxicated') and used it for drinking vessels and talismans.
Ancient Egypt, ancient Rome and medieval Europe all regarded amethyst as a symbol of nobility and spirituality, often used in religious objects and royal ornaments.
In China, amethyst is associated with the phrase 'purple air comes from the east,' a sign of good fortune, nobility and wisdom.
