In crystal traditions, Amethyst is often associated with calmness, emotional balance and spiritual growth.
It is commonly linked to the Crown Chakra and Third Eye Chakra, which are traditionally associated with wisdom, intuition and inner awareness.
Although many people enjoy wearing Amethyst for its symbolic associations, it should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
Amethyst is found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, South Korea and Madagascar. Brazil and Uruguay are particularly well known for producing Amethyst with rich purple colour and exceptional clarity.
Although Amethyst is best known for its beautiful purple colour, there is also a green variety known as Prasiolite, often referred to as Green Amethyst in the jewellery trade. Most Prasiolite available today is produced by carefully heat-treating certain natural Amethyst, creating its distinctive soft green colour. At Mistry Gems, we offer both Purple Amethyst and Green Amethyst (Prasiolite) jewellery in handcrafted sterling silver designs.
Amethyst is the traditional birthstone for February and has long been treasured as a meaningful gift for February birthdays.
