THE BIRTHSTONE OF FEBRUARY: AMETHYST
Why is amethyst purple?
Amethyst appears purple due to the presence of iron impurities within the quartz crystal lattice. This unique composition gives amethyst its distinctive hue, making it highly sought after in the world of gemstones.
Where is amethyst found?
Amethyst was once rare, mainly found in Russia until the 19th century. However, the discovery of large deposits in Brazil during that time led to its widespread availability. Today, Africa and South America are key sources of amethyst.
