Amethyst is one of the most precious and valuable stones belonging to the quartz group of minerals, with exception to rare blue-green gem. It is recognized as the official birthstone for the month of February. Amethyst belongs to the macro crystalline branch of quartz and owes its violet/purple color to iron and aluminum impurities. Without such coloring agents, amethyst would simply be transparent, ordinary colorless quartz. Like other varieties of macro crystalline quartz, amethyst has transparent to translucent clarity and a vitreous luster.

Amethyst Color : Amethyst owes its color to iron and aluminum impurities. The colors range from purple and violet to pale red-violet. The deep colors are the most valuable, particularly a rich purple with rose flashes. "Siberian" deep purple amethyst with red and blue flashes commands the highest prices.

Amethyst Clarity and Luster : Fine amethyst is transparent, which means that the light passes through the stone unhindered. In translucent amethyst, the passage of light is slightly weakened as it travels through the stone. The best quality amethyst is "clean" and free of visible inclusions of any kind.
