6th Anniversary gemstone gift - amethyst

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, ranging from lilac to deep violet, and even green in some cases. The Ancient Greeks believed it protected against intoxication. Amethyst is the birthstone for February and the gemstone for 6th wedding anniversaries. Once considered one of the most valuable gemstones alongside diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald, amethyst is now regarded as a semiprecious stone due to the discovery of abundant deposits, particularly in Brazil.
