Interesting Facts About Amethysts.....
Amethysts are stunning lavender/purple coloured gemstones which are the birthstone for February and Zodiac stone of Aquarius. The name originates from the Greek “amethystos” which means “not drunk”, so it will come as no surprise that this gemstone is regarded as an aid for alcoholism or helpful in curing a hangover. In the past wine goblets were often studded with this stones.
The properties of the amethyst are peace and tranquillity as well as sobriety. It was thought to aid in celibacy and piety during the Middle Ages and was widely used in the Catholic Church, especially by bishops. The luxurious richness of the colour purple has long been a royal or holy colour, with amethysts used extensively in the British Crown Jewels and by the Ancient Egyptians.
Amethysts are always purple but come in varying shades, with different regions and mines often producing their own unique colour. They are found all over the world, but the principal areas are Brazil, then Arizona in the USA, Uruguay, Mexico, Canada, Russia and the Zambia.
They are mostly cut as brilliant rounds because they often have a slightly patchy distribution of colour in their crystals (which is very difficult or impossible to detect with the naked eye). The more expensive stones usually have the best distribution of colour and other cuts are used.
