Amethyst
Amethyst, the birthstone of February, is a variety of Quartz that carries a spectacular purple colour that ranges from a blend of deep violet and red to a lighter lilac hue. Ancient Greeks believed that the stone protected the wearer from drunkenness and enabled them to keep a balanced mindset.
Rose de France is a variation of Amethyst with its stunning pinkish lavender hue and subtle light tones. The only known source of this gemstone is in Southern Brazil where its delicate colour is the result of the presence of titanium oxide.
How Much Are Amethysts Worth? In general, the darker the colour, the higher the value. The finest amethyst is a deep purple colour with minimal colour zoning. It looks the best in daylight as compared to artificial lighting.
