Amethyst, the story
One of the most precious and valuable of the Quartz gemstones, Amethyst is a vibrant purple gemstone and its hardness makes it suitable for use in any style of jewellery.
Once as highly regarded as precious gemstones Emerald and Ruby, huge deposits have made Amethyst a more accessible and therefore less expensive gemstone.
