Amethyst, quartz
$45
Amethyst is the purple variety of crystalline quartz. Its dark purple to light purple color is due to the presence of iron (Fe). It is the birthstone for the month of February.
This fine stone (sometimes referred to as semi-precious) is undoubtedly the most popular quartz. Amethyst, which once competed with the most beautiful gemstones, became affordable at the beginning of the 19th century when large deposits were discovered in Brazil.
