Amethyst is the most valuable variety of quartz, it is regarded a natural crystal and a semi-precious gemstone and therefore a fine amethyst has to be very transparent. Usually the darker it is the more valuable it will be, its best colors would be dark violet or purple. The Egyptians were the first to use it in jewelry and the Greeks thought that sipping alcohol out of an amethyst mug would not make people drunk. In those days amethyst was a rare stone but in the 19th century large deposits were found in Brazil and it is now a relatively affordable stone.

Amethyst looks great when set in gold, silver or white gold. Amethyst might not be as precious as a ruby or an diamond but it has a pretty unusual color for a gemstone that makes it an intersting choice even for an engagement ring. Amethyst earrings are also very popular and look very good while amethyst as it is a crystal is also supposed to have talismanic properties and is the birthstone of people born in February, consequently a birthstone necklace or an amethyst pendant might be a very choice for a birthday present. Be very careful when wearing your amethyst pendant outside, as sunlight will fade amethyst’s beautiful color with time.
The first lab created amethysts were made about thirty years ago, they are now very common as not only they are easy to make but synthetic amethyst is actually quite difficult to distinguish from natural one. This means that shopping for amethyst jewelry has to be done with a degree of caution as it is possible to be sold synthetic amethyst while being told it is natural. There is absolutely nothing wrong in purchasing synthetic amethyst if you know what you are purchasing but you should pay less for it. For that reason, you are recommended to go to a reputable jeweller that you can trust or retailer which will give you all the facts you require to make an informed decision.
