Amethyst has been known as the most highly prized form of quartz. It is the presence of manganese in quartz that produces the purple color, and iron content varies the coloration. Amethyst may be found throughout the world; our specimens are from Brazil and Uruguay.
Amethyst, Mythological Maiden - Bacchus, the god of wine, declared in a rage that the first person he passes will be eaten by tigers. This turns out to be a beautiful maiden named Amethyst. The goddess Diana quickly turned Amethyst into a white stone to save her from the tigers. Regretting his anger, Bacchus poured red wine over the stone as an offering to Diana, so turning the stone purple. Amethyst has long been associated with relieving hangovers, or curing drunkenness, probably as a result of its wine-like color and the Bacchus tale.

so they stand up. Both of these crystals below also have phantoms, that
can be seen from within the tip of the crystal and appear as though they
are another "crystal within the crystal" These are candle quartz
crystals - they have crystal growth down the sides of the crystal that
appear like wax dripping down the sides.
