Amethyst<\/strong> is a volcanic variety of mineral Quartz<\/a> which often has\u00a0trace elements of iron, resulting in complex crystal lattice substitutions an its purple to red and pinkish coloring. The semi-precious gemstone has been sought after since ancient times. Egyptians during the period of Ptolemy often carved artistic or royal images and important inscriptions into the stone, while it was believed by Greco-Romans that wearing the stone while drinking would prevent drunkenness. Tibetian budhists believed the stone to be sacred and carved prayer beads from it.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/gemsbywandamarie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Amethyst1.jpg” _builder_version=”3.0.89″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”15px|0px|13px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0|0px|0|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.18.4″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.18.4″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.18.4″]
