Description
High Quality, Deep Purple, Amethyst Cluster from Uruguay
Amethyst, a semi-precious variety of quartz, has had a long
and interesting history over the course of civilization. The
ancient Romans valued it as a stone which protected one
against drunkenness. The name comes from the Greek word
“amethystos”, which means “remedy against drunkenness.”
At one time it was rare and worth more than gold.
