Cool Facts:
Amethyst is quartz coloured purple by traces of iron and natural irradiation deep in the earth.
Its name comes from the Greek amethystos, meaning "not intoxicated" – the ancient Greeks believed it guarded against drunkenness.
Until large Brazilian deposits were found in the 19th century, amethyst was valued alongside ruby and emerald.
