Chevron Amethyst

Amethyst has been treasured for centuries for its stunning beauty and its legendary ability to soothe the mind and emotions. Today it is perceived as a semi-precious stone, but in history it was a "gem of fire", a precious stone comparable in price to a diamond. During the Roman Empire, amethyst was more valuable than gold.

It carries the energy of fire and passion, creativity and spirituality and moderation.

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, with colors that range from light reddish-purple to deep violet, and it can be either transparent or opaque. The saturation of the colour depends on the amount of iron.

The name originated from the Greek word menthū – mead, which was an intoxicating drink at the time. Therefore, the term amethyst can be translated as 'non-intoxicating,' as the ancient Greeks believed in its ability to counteract intoxication.

In the Czech Republic, it is found in the Podkrkonoší region, along quartz veins near Bochovice and Hoštákov in the Třebíč area, as well as in Ciboušov in the Krušné Mountains.
The largest deposits can be found in Madagascar, Brazil, India, the USA, Sri Lanka, Russia, Bolivia, Canada, Mexico, Myanmar (Burma), Zaire, Australia, Germany, and more.
