Our amethyst stones originate from Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia. These regions produce crystals with superior color saturation and clarity due to specific geological conditions.
Amethyst ranks 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it resistant to scratches and suitable for regular use. The .925 sterling silver settings add strength while maintaining a polished appearance.
Iron impurities and natural irradiation within the quartz crystal create amethyst's purple color. Higher iron content produces deeper violet tones, while lower concentrations result in softer lavender shades.
