Amethyst, a member of the
Quartz mineral family, and has Purple hues that vary from very pale to
dark. The medium-dark to dark tones are considered the most
desirable and of course are quite a bit more expensive than the lighter
tones. As such it is related to citrine which is the yellow form
of quartz, and also to rock crystal which is the colourless variety.
Amethyst gets its name from a Greek word amethustos meaning "not
drunken", as it was believed to protect against intoxication by
alcohol.
