Amethyst, February Birthstone

| Marty Mease tells us about a special Amethyst at Measetique Jewels! |
Qualities: Amethyst, due to its beauty, affordability and durability, is the most popular variety of the mineral, quartz. Most gemstones, including diamond, need enhancement through cutting or treatment to be enjoyed in a piece of jewelry. Occasionally, amethyst is heated to permanently purify its purple hue.
The color amethyst has long been associated with passion and hope.
