Violet quartz gem
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, prized as a semiprecious gemstone and used in jewelry since ancient times.
The color ranges from pale lavender to deep violet, with the most valued stones showing a rich, saturated purple.
Amethyst is the traditional birthstone for February.
She wore her grandmother's amethyst ring to the wedding.
The word also functions as a color term for that distinctive purple hue.
