Amethyst
The name amethyst comes from the Greek "a-methystos", not drunk with wine. It has been a popular material for the production of various ornaments and jewelry since ancient times. It is found mainly in the cavities of alkaline rocks (geodes). Amethyst has a color from light purple, deep purple to purple. Some amethysts are transparent, others only translucent, others opaque. Amethyst does not like direct light, loses color and fades.
