History of Amethyst:

Amethyst is one of the world’s beautiful and storied variety of gemstones that has been coveted throughout millennia of human history. A form of quartz famous for its deep purple hues, the name Amethyst is derived from the Greek world amethystos, meaning “not drunk.” Throughout ancient history, people have believed amethyst contains properties that inhibit intoxication and encourages sobriety. Ancient Greeks wore amethyst and carved drinking cups with inlays of amethyst under the belief that it would prevent intoxication. Medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets into battle for protection, believing that the crystal would have the power to heal them and keep them composed during battle. Tibetans would make prayer beads out of amethyst, considering the crystal to be sacred to Buddha.

Terrific customer experience

The rough rock I received (Chevron Amethyst) is even more beautiful than I imagined, and I can't wait to tumble it. Rock And Tumble was wonderful to do business with, and I received my order very promptly.
