Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, which is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen. It is one of the most popular gemstones due to its beautiful color.  Amethyst ranges in color from light purple to deep violet. The color is caused by impurities of iron within the quartz crystal.

Amethyst can occur in different variations, such as Chevron Amethyst (which exhibits distinct chevron-like patterns), Cape Amethyst (a lighter purple variety), and Uruguayan Amethyst (known for its deep and intense color).

Amethyst is believed to enhance spiritual awareness, ward off negative energies, promote balance and relaxation, and improve intuitive and psychic abilities. Amethyst is also thought to enhance mental clarity and focus.
