Amethyst - 8-Inch

Amethyst is quartz colored purple by trace iron exposed to natural radiation inside volcanic geodes; heat-zoned growth lines give each bead its unique swirl of lilac to royal violet. Ancient Greeks carved it into goblets, believing the stone kept drinkers sober—its name comes from the Greek améthystos, “not intoxicated.” Today it’s the official February birthstone and, in holistic circles, a go-to crystal for peace and clear thought—perfect for jewelry meant to steady the mind while adding a regal pop of color.
