Each polished pocket stone reveals its own variations in color, clarity, and natural mineral patterning. About Amethyst Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz, with its remarkable color created by trace amounts of iron and natural irradiation within the crystal over geological time. Its name comes from the ancient Greek amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated,” reflecting the ancient belief that Amethyst could help maintain a clear and balanced mind. That centuries-old connection to clarity continues today. Amethyst is associated with intuition, inner peace, clarity, and spiritual awareness, and is often chosen for meditation, reflection, and creating a sense of calm. Natural Amethyst pocket stones are priced individually and carefully selected for their color, character, and quality.
