Amethyst is a naturally occurring crystal gemstone in shades of violet from pastel to deep purple. Amethyst is a variation of the mineral quartz, exhibiting a beautiful hexagonal structure with naturally smooth faces. Amethyst’s color is due to irradiation and trace amounts of iron.   In the folk-lore of gems and crystals, Amethyst is said to bring serenity. It has been called the “stone of contentment,” and is soothing and calming.
