About Amethyst: Amethyst belongs to the quartz family of minerals and is the birthstone for those born in February or under the zodiac sign of Pisces. Although amethyst can be found in many places around the world, the largest deposits are found in Brazil. The purple color of this natural untreated gemstone comes from iron and aluminum deposits in the stone. Without the iron and aluminum, amethyst would be a colorless gemstone. Amethyst colors can vary from a light violet purple to a deeply saturated dark purple. The colors look best in natural daylight. Materials: Amethyst 5-6mm heart briolette, 2mm round All metal components are 14K gold filled If you have any questions just click "message seller" on our homepage.
