Amethyst is a variety of quartz that is known for its purple colour, which can range from a pale lilac to a deep, rich violet. The colour of amethyst is caused by the presence of iron and aluminum impurities in the crystal structure of the quartz. Amethyst is the birthstone for the month of February, and has a long history of use in jewelry and as a decorative stone. It has been prized for its beautiful violet colour and was often associated with royalty and wealth. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that amethyst had the power to ward off drunkenness and other undesirable behaviours, and it was often used to decorate drinking vessels. In the Middle Ages, amethyst was thought to have medicinal properties and was worn as a protective talisman. Amethyst is found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, Canada, and the United States. It can also be found in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
