Its purple color comes from trace amounts of iron within the quartz crystal structure, combined with natural irradiation over millions of years — not from any applied treatment. At Erin Gallagher Jewelry, all amethyst is ethically sourced and hand-selected for rich, even color.

About Amethyst

Amethyst is a variety of quartz colored by trace iron and natural irradiation. It scores a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it durable for everyday wear. The name comes from the Greek amethystos, meaning "not intoxicated," as ancient cultures believed the stone promoted sobriety and clear thinking. Amethyst is associated with the Crown Chakra and Third Eye Chakra in crystal healing traditions. Learn more on our amethyst jewelry guide.

February Birthstone Care

Amethyst is rated for everyday wear with basic care. Avoid harsh chemicals, prolonged direct sunlight, and extreme heat. Clean gently with mild soapy water, a soft brush, and dry thoroughly. Store pieces separately to prevent scratching.
