YOUR PERSONALITY

Amethyst, a symbol of serenity, peace, temperance, and royalty, is often associated with strong, courageous, multi-talented individuals. Those born with amethyst as their birthstone are known for their calm and kind-hearted nature, making them reliable and nurturing in their relationships.

WHAT IS AMETHYST?

Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz prized for its calming properties and stunning colour. Its purple hues range from deep, rich violet to delicate, lighter shades.

Fun Fact: Under heat and pressure, amethyst transforms into citrine, the warm orangey-yellow variety of quartz. A fascinating mix of both is called ametrine, showcasing a beautiful blend of purple and yellow.

AMETHYST HARDNESS

On the Mohs scale of hardness, amethyst rates a 7.0, making it a durable option for jewellery such as rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets. To preserve its beauty, store amethyst pieces separately to avoid scratches.

AMETHYST CARE AND CLEANING

To clean an amethyst, gently use a soft brush with mild soapy water. For optimal care, it’s recommended to have your amethyst jewellery professionally cleaned every few years to maintain its lustre and quality.
