Amethyst is a type of violet or purple quartz, a variety that is often used as a gemstone. Amethyst was used as a gemstone as early as Ancient Egypt, where it was used as a material for seals. In Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, people wore amethyst talismans and used vessels made of amethyst.
In the past, amethyst was ranked among the most valuable gemstones along with diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald.


Since amethyst is a popular gemstone, several descriptive terms are used to denote different shades of amethyst.
"Rose de France" - a pale pinkish lilac or purple hue. The least sought-after variety.
"Siberian" - intense purple color with a red shimmer. The most sought-after and expensive variety. Stones of this color are found not only in Siberia, but also in Uruguay, Zambia and elsewhere.
Ametrine is a relatively recent term applied to amethyst - citrine crystals, some of which are purple and some - yellow.


Pearls are found in various shades from white to black. There are also blue, yellow, purple, green, etc. pearls.
