Amethyst is a stunning purple variety of quartz known for its majestic hues ranging from soft lilac to deep, royal violet. Ancient Greeks wore amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. Amethystos means “not drunk” in ancient Greek. Highly prized for centuries, this beautiful gem is renowned for its vibrant natural beauty. Colors range from pale lavender to intense reddish-purple (often called "raspberry"). Amethyst measures 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for rings, necklaces, and everyday jewelry with proper care. As the February birthstone, it is culturally associated with clarity, tranquility, and spirituality. Citrine is a transparent, yellow variety of quartz. Its name is derived from the Latin word citrus (citron tree), by way of the French citrin or citron (lemon). Citrine is one of the most popular yellow gemstones and has been used since ancient Egyptian times. There is disagreement as to which trace elements are responsible for its color. Not all yellow quartz is considered citrine, such as quartz stained by iron inclusions or coatings. Natural citrine is rare; most commercially available citrine is produced by heating amethyst or smoky quartz. Peridot, sometimes called chrysolite, is a yellow-green transparent variety of olivine. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color. Peridot can be found in rocks occurring in lava. Along with diamonds, peridot is one of only two gems observed to be formed not in Earth's crust, but in the molten rock of the upper mantle. Gem-quality peridot is rare on Earth's surface due to its susceptibility to alteration during its movement from deep within the mantle and weathering at the surface.
