The mineral ‘quartz’ comes in many colours. Amethyst is one of them, and Citrine is another. Amethyst’s purple colour can range from light lilac to an intense tone. Collectors, above all, look for depth of colour, possibly with red flashes if cut conventionally. The highest-grade Amethyst is called ‘Deep Russian,’ which is exceptionally rare and therefore sought after.
The Amethyst found in Russia, near Mursinka in the Ekaterinburg district, is the world’s most expensive. Amethyst was once more valuable than diamonds; therefore, it was worn by Kings and the Clergy. The earliest use of this gem dates back to ancient Greece. The Greeks thought Amethyst would prevent drunkenness, so they wore Amethyst as an adornment and carved drinking vessels from it, believing it would prevent intoxication. All that aside, the Amethyst gold diamond earrings look fantastic!
