About Amethyst Gemstone
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, with color ranging from soft lilac to deep violet caused by trace iron combined with natural irradiation within the earth. As the birthstone for February, it's one of the most popular and recognizable colored gemstones, prized historically for its rich purple hue long before modern large-scale deposits were found in Brazil, Uruguay and Zambia. Rated 7 on the Mohs scale, amethyst is hard-wearing enough for rings and everyday jewelry while remaining an accessible entry point for anyone starting a gemstone collection. Unlike many colored stones, natural amethyst rarely requires treatment to reach its finished color, though heat can lighten overly dark material. Every amethyst in Jamsora's collection is independently graded to confirm it's a natural, untreated stone, so you can buy amethyst online knowing exactly what you're getting.
