Cape Amethyst faceted rondelles 4x6mm on 16-inch strands
Amethyst is the most highly valued stone in the quartz group and has been treasured by royalty from Ancient Egypt to the British crown jewels.
The best examples today come from India, Brazil, and Sri Lanka.
The name amethyst comes from the Greek word amethustos meaning “sober” because it was believed to prevent the wearer from becoming intoxicated. Ancient wine goblets were sometimes made of this gem.
