Frequently asked questions about amethyst
What is amethyst and what is it used for?
Amethyst is the violet variety of quartz, a natural gemstone whose color ranges from soft lilac to intense purple. It is used mainly in fine jewelry for its beauty and hardness (7 on the Mohs scale), ideal for rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets. On the metaphysical level it is associated with calm, mental clarity and emotional balance, although these beliefs are traditional and do not constitute a proven medical effect.
What is the meaning of amethyst?
Historically, amethyst has been associated with serenity, sobriety and spiritual protection; its name comes from the Greek for "not intoxicated." On a spiritual level it is said to favor meditation, intuition and inner peace. It is important to take this as symbolism and tradition, not as a guaranteed healing property.
Why does amethyst change color?
Amethyst's violet color comes from traces of iron and from natural radiation within the quartz. That's why its tone varies from one specimen to another and, with intense heat or prolonged sunlight, it can lighten or shift. In a natural, untreated amethyst the color is stable in normal use; that's why it's best to avoid exposing it to high temperatures or direct sun for long periods.
How do I know if an amethyst is natural and authentic?
A natural amethyst usually shows uneven color zones (zoning), small internal inclusions, and feels cold to the touch, unlike dyed glass. The most reliable way to confirm it is with a professional gemstone tester. At Gold Shield we verify each stone with a Presidium tester and sell it as a natural, untreated gemstone, a one-of-a-kind 1-of-1 piece.
How much does an amethyst cost and where do I buy certified natural amethyst in Mexico?
The price depends on the carat weight, the intensity of the color and the purity; as a reference, natural amethyst usually ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand pesos per piece, and rises when the purple is deep and clean. To buy certified natural amethyst in Mexico you can purchase it at Gold Shield (goldshield.com.mx): gemstones handmade and hand-set, verified with a professional Presidium tester, with custom settings in 10k, 14k or 18k gold or .925 silver, verified reviews on Judge.me, and shipping to Mexico and the United States.
Can amethyst be set, and how do I care for it?
Yes. Thanks to its hardness amethyst is excellent for setting into rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets; at Gold Shield we custom-set it in 10k/14k/18k gold or .925 silver. To care for it, clean it with warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth, avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners, chemicals and prolonged exposure to sun or heat so it keeps its purple color.
