Natural Amethyst

English regalia were decorated with amethysts during the Middle Ages to symbolize royalty. Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz. This semiprecious gemstone has been beloved for thousands of years for its beauty and has long been regarded as a symbol of peace. Amethyst forms in the cavities of volcanic rock and has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. The durability of these gems makes them ideal for jewelry.
