Natural Amethyst Quartz

AMETHYST

Gemstone lore, history and legend

The word Amethyst is derived from the Greek words for “not drunken” and was once thought that amethyst would ward off drunkenness. Ancient cups and goblets often contained or were carved completely from amethyst for that reason. Also amethyst was once considered a protective gemstone against death, dismay, mayhem and evil spirits.  Some consider it a symbol of calmness. Soldiers often brought them into battle. Many religious leaders wear the traditional large amethyst rings, such as bishop and cardinals. This beautiful purple gemstone has long been a royalty favorite and their use for royal jewelry dates back to ancient times. There are many amethyst gemstones in the Royal Crown’s jewelry.

Composition, source and jewelry variety

The amethyst is in the quartz family and ranges in color from a rich violet to a pale lavender. The intense violet colors are more sought after for jewelry and collections.  Amethyst is found all over the world, but jewelry grade quartz is mostly mined from Brazil, Uruguay and Zambia. The most sought after rich violet variety of Amethyst is mined in Siberia. Most Jewelry Amethysts are heat treated to enhance their hue & color.

Purchasing amethyst Jewelry

Amethysts are an abundant and affordable. Beautiful amethyst jewelry can be found from fifty to a few hundred dollars in silver or gold jewelry. Amethyst jewelry and other gemstone jewelry can usually be found from reputable jewelers.

March Birthstone: Aquamarine

The blue of Aquamarine is divine and eternal, mirroring the light blue sky and of the deep blue ocean. This, no doubt, is where it derives its name from. ”Aquamarine” comes  from the Latin word  for water (aqua) and for sea (mare).  Legend states that sailors have long regarded aquamarine as their lucky stone, believing it would prevent seasickness, ensure a safe voyage and guarantee a prosperous return.

Ancient Romans believed  the Aquamarine was sacred to Neptune, “The God Of The Sea,” having fallen from the jewel boxes of sirens and washed onto shore.  Early sailors wore aquamarine talismans, engraved with the likeness of Neptune, as protection against dangers at sea.

This connection to water led to the belief that the Aquamarine was  powerful when immersed.  Water that had this mystical gemstone  submerged in it was thought in ancient times to heal a variety of illnesses  such as the heart, liver, stomach, mouth and throat ailments.  Aquamarines were also thought to reverse poisoning and to aid in fortune telling.

Aquamarine is a member of the beryl family and ranges in color from an almost colorless pale blue to blue-green or teal. The most prized color is a deep-blue aqua color. It is 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale of hardness.

For information on our aquamarine inventory, please contact us.  Let our custom design jewelry expert hand make you a beautiful aquamarine piece of jewelry for you or that special loved one.
