Amethysts - Comparative Guide to Benefits & Virtues in Lithotherapy
🌍 Description and Origin
Amethysts form a remarkable family of violet quartz (SiO₂), whose color ranges from pale violet to deep purple, due to the presence of iron and natural irradiation over very long geological periods. They develop slowly in the cavities of volcanic rocks.
This family includes several notable varieties: Brazilian amethyst, famous for its large geodes, Uruguayan amethyst, rarer and of an intense violet, amethyst flower, cactus amethyst from South Africa, and Vera Cruz amethyst from Mexico with fine and translucent crystals.
The hexagonal crystals have a hardness of 7 (Mohs), offering good resistance, although they are sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. Used since Antiquity, amethyst adorned sacred objects and royal crowns; its name, derived from the Greek amethystos (“that does not intoxicate”), reflects its ancient reputation as a stone of physical and spiritual protection.
