An Amethyst gemstone is mostly found in different shades of purple ranging from light lavender to dark purple. The intensity of the color decides the price of this gem. For instance, the pale lavender amethyst would be less expensive than the one which is towards the deeper shade of purple. This color of this gemstone is a result of the manganese impurities present in it while the intensity depends upon the iron content it constitutes of. There is one more variety of amethyst that is bicolor in nature. These stones are generally referred to as ametrine and are an extremely popular accessory for ornament making and decoration.

Also, one of the most famous varieties of amethyst gems, popularly known as ‘Rose-de-France’ belongs to Brazil. Amethyst gemstones turn into yellow color on heating, thus, many commercial jewelry makers use heated amethyst under the name of citrine, which is a very popular yellow colored gemstone, to save cost.

Now, to talk about its holistic powers, an amethyst gemstone represents purity as its name signifies. The name of this gem has been derived from the Greek word ‘Amesthystos,’ which means ‘pure’. This gemstone symbolizes spirituality and is widely known for its mystical powers and healing abilities all throughout the world.
