AMETHYST
Good-Girl Bad-Girl Beetle Earrings
Amethyst, like citrine, belongs to the quartz family, and more specifically, to that of macrocrystalline quartz, that is to say that its crystals are visible to the naked eye.
Where does the name "Amethyst" come from?
The name “amethyst” comes from the Greek “amethysios” or “ametusios” meaning “who is not drunk”. During Roman orgies, cups were cut in amethyst to protect against drunkenness.
What is the color of Amethyst?
Amethyst is a purple stone that can also be light purple-violet.
However, it is possible to change the color of amethyst by "heating" it to temperatures between 470 and 750 degrees Celsius. The stone then becomes either light yellow to reddish-brown (we then obtain a citrine), or green or even colorless.
What is the symbolism of Amethyst?
Today, amethyst is synonymous with simplicity, humility, purity, lucidity and wisdom. It symbolizes births in February and the 48th wedding anniversary.
Where does it come from?
The main deposits of amethyst are found in Brazil, Madagascar, Uruguay and Zambia.
How do I maintain my jewel set with an Amethyst?
Some varieties of amethyst may see their color fade if exposed to too much light or too much heat.
Steam cleaning is still possible or even water and dishwashing liquid will be enough to restore the shine to your stone.
