Amethyst FAQs

What gives amethyst its purple color?

 Amethyst gets its signature purple hue from trace amounts of iron and natural irradiation within the quartz structure. The depth of color can range from pale lilac to deep royal purple, with the most prized stones displaying rich, saturated tones. Historically, amethyst was as valuable as ruby or sapphire until large deposits were found in Brazil. Its vivid color and affordability make it a popular choice in vintage and estate jewelry.

Is amethyst durable enough for everyday wear?

With a Mohs hardness of 7, amethyst is suitable for rings, earrings, and pendants but does require some care to prevent scratches. While relatively resistant to chipping, the stone can still be damaged by harder materials or sharp impacts. Vintage amethyst rings should be worn with a bit more caution, especially if they feature older settings. Proper care will keep the gemstone vibrant and intact for generations.

How should I clean my antique amethyst jewelry?

Clean amethyst with warm water, a mild soap, and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or sudden temperature changes, which can affect both the stone and the integrity of vintage settings. Rinse thoroughly and dry before storing. For especially old or delicate pieces, professional cleaning ensures preservation.

What is the historical significance of amethyst?

Amethyst has been treasured for centuries and was once considered one of the cardinal gemstones alongside diamond, ruby, sapphire, and emerald. It’s the birthstone for February and traditionally associated with clarity, peace, and protection against intoxication. In Georgian and Victorian eras, amethyst was a popular choice for sentimental jewelry, especially mourning and spiritual pieces. Its royal color and accessibility continue to make it a beloved gemstone.
