NOTE: Gemstones are simulated stones or glass to appear as Amethyst.About Sterling SilverPure 100% silver is soft and easily damaged. To give it strength when creating jewelry, it is combined with copper, which defines the alloy known as Sterling Silver. Sterling Silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, but this alloy does not have an effect on the value of this noble precious metal.About Amethyst GemstonesAmethyst is one of the most popular gemstones, and has been considered valuable since ancient times. Its name derives from the Greek "amethystos", which means "not drunken", as Amethyst in antiquity was thought to ward off drunkenness. Amethyst was once highly regarded among the precious gemstones like Ruby and Emerald, but discoveries of huge Amethyst deposits since the 1800's have made Amethyst fairly inexpensive and very obtainable. Amethyst colors range from light to dark purple, and the transparent deep purple colors are the most highly regarded.Amethyst is the purple variety of the mineral Quartz, and is its most famous and valuable gem variety. Quartz also contains other gemstones such as Citrine, Rose Quartz, and Smoky Quartz. The color of Amethyst is most often caused by iron impurities, though it can also be colored by natural radiation exposure. Amethyst is sometimes heat treated to deepen the color, or to transform it into Citrine.
